The Red Wave Is Coming | Ep. 1602

Gaffes

Joe Biden's recent public appearances have been marked by a series of notable gaffes, raising questions about his capability to run for re-election. Ben Shapiro highlights several instances, such as Biden claiming to have spoken with the inventor of insulin, who passed away before Biden was born 1. Additionally, he mistakenly referred to Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a senator, despite her being a member of the House of Representatives 1. These errors, along with his repeated incorrect statements about his son Beau's death, have fueled criticism about his mental acuity.

Joe Biden is not capable of running for reelection. Yesterday he did a rally in Florida and it was a mess.

Shapiro also discusses Biden's confusion over international affairs, such as mixing up the wars in Iraq and Ukraine, which further underscores concerns about his readiness for another term 2.

   

Re-election

Despite these gaffes, Biden is reportedly preparing for a potential 2024 re-election campaign. According to Shapiro, Biden and his advisors are quietly strategizing for another run, meeting with senior advisors and veterans from previous campaigns 3. However, Shapiro argues that Biden's age and perceived lack of mental sharpness could hinder his chances, especially if the midterms result in significant losses for the Democrats.

Biden would turn 86 before the end of a second term. 86 years old, and he is not with us now.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro also critiques Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that her lack of preparation and perceived inadequacy could further complicate the Democratic Party's prospects in the upcoming elections 4.
