Given the plethora of gaffes and mental lapses, it comes as no surprise that the majority of Americans are concerned about President Joe Biden’s mental health and ability to effectively serve in office.
NBC News delivered a devastating blow to the Biden administration by conducting a nationwide poll on how Americans feel about Biden’s health.
The result wasn’t good. NBC host Chuck Todd told viewers that the majority of Americans are convinced that Biden does not have the mental or physical capacity to be president.

According to the poll, 68% of voters say they are concerned that Biden does not have the necessary mental and physical health to be president.
This includes 43% of Democrats, which is twice as high as the same poll in 2020.
Todd explained to viewers, “A full 68% of voters — including 43% of Democrats, which is twice what it was in 2020 — say they are concerned that Biden does not have the necessary mental and physical health to be president.”
Despite the seriousness of these concerns, many Democrats still continue to argue that he is mentally sharp and capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency.

As Americans question Biden’s ability to remain in the White House, the nation continues to face serious economic and national security issues.
Inflation has reached a 40-year high under Biden, which has caused prices to skyrocket for everything from food to gas. This is putting a strain on household budgets and making it difficult for people to make ends meet.
In June, articles of impeachment were filed against President Biden not once, but twice.
Both Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, as well as Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, introduced articles of impeachment against Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I support any article of impeachment that is filed that qualifies Joe Biden for impeachment under our Constitution,” Boebert told Fox News. “So I’m happy to be a co-sponsor of Andy Ogles articles of impeachment.”
“It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” the congresswoman said. “Given the severity of the violation of Joe Biden’s constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the president, United States to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, this is something that we must do with our majorities in the House of Representatives,” she said.
“This is our duty because Joe Biden has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of president of the United States,” Boebert continued. “I introduced the articles of impeachment in the last Congress and had fully intended to introduce them this Congress, but I was also giving some other committees and leadership the opportunity to lead on this,” she said.
“[I]f the committees and or leadership does not step up and actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe, then I will call my legislation my articles of impeachment for a privileged motion,” the congresswoman said.
Boebert said she could “go to the House floor and call up my articles of impeachment and read it in its entirety. And at that point, leadership has a maximum of two days to respond and see if it’s going to be sent to committee or a vote on the articles themselves.”
