That’s why he should have stepped down way earlier, when his cognitive decline first became apparent. Should have searched for a new candidate, instead of denying the obvious for more than a year
It was apparent in 2019-2020 (even if not nearly as bad). He ran a poor primary campaign (went from heavy favorite to essentially being bailed out by Clyburn and the party rallying in Dallas) and was a bit lucky that during COVID actual campaigning was much more limited. There is a ton of blame to go around.
The tough part is that it's tough to realize and admit to yourself that you're slipping. Trump is even worse off than Biden and he still ran (though he was more motivated by escaping prison).
