Bill Clinton Pushes Back on Biden Health Rumors Amid Political Firestorm
So here’s what’s been making the rounds—there’s this new wave of speculation about President Joe Biden’s mental and physical health, fueled by a book titled Original Sin , co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson. The book claims, citing anonymous White House insiders, that Biden has shown noticeable cognitive decline. Reports of heavily scripted meetings, forgotten names and facts, and a dwindling daily schedule have made headlines. And let’s not forget Biden’s own sarcastic jab at the claims—he told reporters he was “mentally incompetent” and “could beat the hell out of both” Tapper and Thompson. A joke, yes, but one that came with a punchline only Biden could deliver, especially after publicly revealing he’s undergoing treatment for Stage 4 prostate cancer.

Now, enter Bill Clinton. The former president sat down with CBS Sunday Morning and decided to set the record straight from his own experience. Clinton was adamant—he’s spoken with Biden recently, and according to him, the guy’s still sharp. “I never saw him that way,” Clinton said, brushing aside the book’s portrayal. In his view, Biden was always on point during their conversations, well-briefed and mentally present.
Clinton did acknowledge one valid concern: Biden’s age. Serving until 86 is no small feat, and that’s a reality no one’s ignoring. But the idea that Biden is no longer capable? Clinton just isn’t buying it. He believes the book is part of a larger political game, one that seeks to shift blame for Donald Trump’s reelection onto Biden’s shoulders. It’s worth noting—Clinton admitted he hadn’t read Original Sin , but for him, real-world interaction trumps anonymous quotes.
So as we keep hearing noise about Biden’s cognitive health, it’s interesting—and maybe telling—that someone like Bill Clinton is stepping up, publicly and plainly, to say: “That’s not the Joe Biden I know.”
