Biden's health, both physical and mental, was discussed at length during the 2024 presidential election cycle, more recently after excerpts from a new book by CNN 's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, were published by multiple media outlets.
