Biden aides discussed whether president would need wheelchair if re-elected
Former President Joe Biden’s aides had become so concerned about his physical deterioration that they’d discussed him using a wheelchair if he won re-election in 2024, according to a bombshell book out next week.
The private conversations were laid bare in a new book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored by Axios reporter Alex Thompson and CNN host Jake Tapper, that details the lengths to which the Biden administration and its allies tried to conceal the 46th president’s lack of fitness for office.
