LISTEN HERE:
A young individual with a preference for the opposing party expressed their intention to switch their support from President Joe Biden to former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Their decision stems from their belief that the current commander-in-chief has shown a lack of accountability, particularly evident in incidents like the Afghanistan withdrawal. The lack of responsibility they perceive in this administration is what has driven their change of heart.
Observing President Biden checking his watch during the funeral of servicemen and considering the potential consequences of a war, the individual feels unsettled and questions his competence as a commander-in-chief.
Furthermore, they worry that he might attribute their hypothetical death to climate change, just as he did with the Afghanistan withdrawal, unfairly blaming his predecessors.
In agreement with the aforementioned voter, Stacey Fox, a member of the GOP, emphasizes the importance of electing a president who possesses the determination to make difficult decisions.
Fox questions who among the candidates possesses the necessary tenacity to stay steadfast in their choices, suggesting that President Biden falls short in this regard. They firmly believe that a strong vice president alongside Donald Trump would provide the leadership required to guide the country out of its current predicaments.
Their concerns for the nation’s future weigh heavily on their mind, and they surmise that change is essential for averting potential consequences.
According to a recent poll conducted by Fox News, an increasing percentage of respondents are skeptical about President Biden’s mental capacity for the job. These doubts have been steadily rising throughout the almost three years he has been in office.
This year alone, the number has increased by 13 points, and compared to 2020, it has risen by 16 points. The poll shows that the prevalent sentiment among the respondents is that they prefer a leader who can effectively accomplish tasks and fulfill their responsibilities.
When addressing the issue on “Fox & Friends First,” Campus Reform correspondent Kristen Jackson emphasizes the significance of competence and honesty over identity politics. The ability to excel in the role of the President of the United States, regardless of age or other factors, should be the determining factor for casting one’s vote.
Campus Reform correspondent Marya Ruth Dunning echoes these sentiments, highlighting that condescending attitudes toward young voters are not effective in gaining their support.
Insults hurled at young voters, coupled with President Biden’s difficulties stringing together coherent sentences and Vice President Kamala Harris struggling with articulation herself, only serve to further alienate this demographic.
Jackson, who identifies as a “conservative Democrat,” believes that the party is currently engaging in behind-the-scenes discussions to select an alternative candidate for the next election.
Expressing concerns about President Biden’s mental decline, he speculates that the media will eventually endorse another candidate, leaving him with the option to attribute his stepping down to his age.
Dr. Carole Lieberman, a well-known psychologist who has made appearances on prominent platforms such as Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, Fox News, and CNN, recently shared her perspective on the matter.
She urges voters not to solely focus on President Biden’s age, as at 80 years old, he would be 82 on Inauguration Day if re-elected. Lieberman argues that age is not the determining factor, as there are individuals much older who possess their mental faculties, intelligence, and historical knowledge necessary for leading the nation in the right direction.
In her opinion, it is President Biden’s competency that should be the deciding criterion. She even challenges his ability to answer a simple question like “Who is the president of the United States?” and suggests that he would struggle to pass her offer of a mini-mental status test or any test evaluating his competency.
