In a strategic move aimed at undermining his potential opponent in the 2024 presidential election, Joe Biden's campaign team has launched a series of attacks against Donald Trump, highlighting the former president's apparent cognitive decline. These attacks come in response to recent comments made by Special Counsel Robert Hur in his 388-page review of President Biden, containing concerns about his cognitive abilities.

The Biden-Harris HQ account, on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), shared multiple clips from Trump's recent speech at the National Rifle Association (NRA) presidential forum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. These clips showcase instances of Trump slurring his words and appearing confused during the event.

One of the shared clips shows Trump claiming that he received 100 percent of the vote in the recent GOP primary in the Virgin Islands, which Biden's team points out is "off by about 26 percent." Another video captures Trump slurring while pronouncing the word "subsidiaries." Other clips reveal Trump getting distracted while telling a peculiar story about marbles, bragging about his accomplishments for China, and not knowing the day of the week during his NRA speech.

Trump's Republican allies have used Special Counsel Hur's review to criticize Biden's cognitive abilities. The report highlights concerns about the president's memory, stating that he struggles to remember basic and key facts. Notably, the report mentions Biden's difficulty recalling when his son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. Hur also noted that Biden asked when his first term as vice president started and ended during the probe.

While Hur stated that criminal charges against Biden were not warranted, he acknowledged the limitations of securing a conviction against an elderly man with a poor memory. Trump and other Republicans quickly seized on these findings, arguing that Biden's cognitive decline disqualifies him from running for a second term.

Biden, however, dismissed the criticisms and defended his cognitive abilities during a press conference. He denounced the special counsel's suggestion that he couldn't remember when his son died, stating, "My memory is fine." Biden emphasized that the decision on whether to pursue charges was made by the counsel and labeled any extraneous commentary as irrelevant.

As the Biden campaign continues to target Trump's cognitive abilities, it remains to be seen how this narrative will shape the discourse leading up to the 2024 election. The issue of cognitive decline has now become a prominent topic of debate, with both sides presenting their arguments based on Special Counsel Hur's review and the shared video clips from Trump's NRA speech.
