President Biden’s Cabinet members have been emphatic that the commander-in-chief is sharp and probative behind closed doors.

However, the 81-year-old chief executive’s interactions with key members of his administration are actually pre-scripted and carefully choreographed — with aides going over questions and discussion points with Cabinet secretaries ahead of time.

Biden has not convened a meeting of his full Cabinet since Oct. 2, 2023, nine months ago.

“The entire display is kind of an act,” one source told CNN of the closed-door get-togethers. “They would come and say, ‘Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in and ask this question. What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?’”

One unidentified Cabinet secretary told the outlet that they were unclear on the status of Biden’s health or cognitive performance because they met with the president so infrequently.

Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, and paid a heavy political price, are calling out their Democratic counterparts for refusing to address President Joe Biden’s mental decline in public.

Former congressmen John Katko and Tom Rice told the Daily Caller it’s time for Democrats to put country over party and be honest about Biden. While a handful of Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for Biden to step aside, far more have seemingly told journalists off the record how badly Biden has declined while refusing to take their concerns out into the open.

“Their primary function is doing what’s necessary to get reelected, and not what’s best for the country,” said Rice. “I took an oath to protect the Constitution. Best of one thing, I took an oath to protect and I wasn’t going to violate my oath.”

Here's the thing, Jake/Bres/I have talked to a lot of Democrats and do so quite frequently.

I haven't talked to one who privately says they think Biden is capable of running and beating Trump at this point.

The debate was just a public airing of the concerns many of them have… https://t.co/6ApJvDqAmF

Now, many Democrats are failing to take a similar stand despite demanding Republicans do so in the past.

“Strong leadership is lonely and tough decisions, especially those against your own party, are even lonelier,” Katko told the Caller. “But at times they are so very necessary. This may be one of those times for many in the Democratic Party regarding President Biden. History is a long time.” (Read more from “‘They Crave Their Power’: Republicans Who Impeached Trump Call Out Dems for Silence on Biden’s Decline” HERE)

President Joe Biden doubled down on staying in the presidential election despite concerns after his poor debate performance last week.

At a rally in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday, Biden told the crowd that he was “running” and was “going to win” the presidential election again.

“You probably heard, we had a little debate last week,” Biden told the crowd. “Can’t say it was my best performance. But, ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation, ‘What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What’s he going to do?’ Well, here’s my answer, I am running and going to win again.”

As the crowd began chanting, “Let’s go, Joe!” Biden told them that he was the “sitting President of the United States of America,” adding that voters “came through” for him in the 2020 presidential election.

“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party,” Biden added. “I’m the nominee of this party because millions of Democrats like you just voted for me in primaries all across America.” (Read more from “Biden Doubles-Down on Remaining in Presidential Race: ‘I’m Staying In’” HERE)
