Former Biden White House Staffer Says Dem Nominee Is Slipping, Has Lost “Mental Acuity”; If Joe Biden Wins, Will COVID Suddenly Disappear?

By The New York Post. Joe Biden’s former White House stenographer said the Democratic presidential nominee has “lost a step” and isn’t as mentally sharp as he was four years ago.

“It is a complete difference from what he was in 2017,” Mike McCormick, who worked with the former vice president from 2011 to 2017, told the Washington Free Beacon. “He’s lost a step and he doesn’t seem to have the same mental acuity as he did four years ago.”

“He doesn’t have the energy, he doesn’t have the pace of his speaking. He’s a different guy,” McCormick said about 77-year-old Biden in the interview published Tuesday.

McCormick, whose book “Joe Biden Unauthorized” chronicles his time in the White House, told the publication that Biden had a talent for clicking with audiences and would often go off-script, something the nominee doesn’t do anymore.

“He’d just make a big joke out of it, and go straight from the hip. And notice, he’s not doing that anymore. He read that [Democratic National Committee speech] verbatim … it’s not Joe Biden anymore,” McCormick said, noting he looks “lost” during interviews now.

If Joe Biden Wins, Will the Pandemic Suddenly Disappear?

By The Federalist. Here’s a prediction for the November election: if Joe Biden wins, the coronavirus pandemic will all but disappear overnight.

I know, it sounds crazy. To hear Biden tell it, the pandemic is getting worse all the time, not better, and Americans are increasingly consumed with fear and despair that they and their loved ones will die from the disease or lose their jobs or otherwise have their lives ruined, all because of Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus. . .

But it’s easy to see why Biden is painting such a dire picture. The worse the pandemic, the longer it lasts, the more pain and suffering it causes, the stronger his case that Trump’s response has been a “failure” and that the president “doesn’t care” about the lives and livelihoods lost on his watch.

If Biden wins, expect all this doom and gloom to dissipate, even if the disease’s trends don’t change all that much. Expect, too, that Democratic governors and mayors will be far more inclined to relax lockdown orders and business closures. Why? Because keeping the country locked down in the name of the pandemic is a way for them to hurt Trump, which is the only thing they really care about. Once he’s gone, the rationale for lockdowns, mask mandates, and doom and gloom rhetoric is gone, too. (Read more from “If Joe Biden Wins, Will the Pandemic Suddenly Disappear?
