Jasmine Crockett Defends Biden’s Mental Sharpness and Sparks Debate on Trump Supporters
So let’s talk about something that’s been stirring up a lot of chatter this week — Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett didn’t just make headlines; she set them on fire. Appearing on Katie Couric’s “Next Question” podcast, Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, went all in defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity, going as far as to say it's “a thousand times better” than Donald Trump’s. And she didn’t stop there.
She was candid, direct, and unapologetic. According to Crockett, she saw nothing during Biden’s time in office that made her question his cognitive health. She emphasized that the public rarely gets the same level of access that elected officials do, and in her experience, Biden was always mentally present, even if he showed the natural signs of aging — something she likened to her own grandmother, who slowed down physically but remained mentally sharp.

Crockett pointed out something that resonated with a lot of people — it’s not just about age or polish. It’s about intention and leadership. She believes Biden surrounded himself with competent, stable advisors and prioritized the well-being of everyday Americans over his own image or personal gain. That, she argues, speaks volumes about his mental clarity and priorities.
But then came the part that sent conservative media into a frenzy. Crockett didn’t hold back when addressing Trump’s base, suggesting that unwavering support for the former president signals a larger problem — even calling it a mental health crisis. “Everyone… should be against Trump. This is not partisan for me,” she said. She expressed genuine heartbreak for military members who served under him, stating that what they signed up to protect was the exact opposite of what Trump represents.
Of course, Republicans pounced. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, mocked Crockett’s comments, painting her as a rising star — but not in a flattering way. Leavitt accused Crockett of insulting nearly 80 million Americans who voted for Trump, calling her words “derogatory” and suggesting she should attend a Trump rally to “see the patriots” herself.
So, we’ve got a clear divide here. One side sees Crockett as boldly speaking truth to power, saying what many Democrats may only think in private. The other sees her as disrespectful and extreme. Either way, she’s making waves — and forcing people to confront hard truths about who we are following, and why.
At the end of the day, Crockett isn’t afraid to put it all out there. Whether you agree with her or not, she’s not playing it safe. And in politics, that’s a rare — and powerful — thing.
