<p>Former President Joe Biden got only one question about his obvious cognitive decline when he made an appearance on Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; — and former first lady Jill Biden had to jump in and help him with his response.</p>
<p>Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, who typically identifies herself as a Republican despite <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-host-of-the-view-admits-to-fawning-cohosts-she-voted-kamala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supporting</a> former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, took the most indirect route possible to the obvious question. Rather than basing it on hours and hours of speeches and public appearance where Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doocy-corners-karine-jean-pierre-who-ordered-white-house-officials-to-cover-up-bidens-decline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cognitive abilities</a> were clearly lacking, Griffin instead framed it around the numerous books that are now being written by insiders revealing what they knew and when they knew it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since you left office, there have been a number of books that have come out, deeply sourced from Democratic sources that claim in your final year there was a dramatic decline in your cognitive abilities, in the final year of your presidency,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;What is your response to these allegations and are these sources wrong?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They are wrong. There&#8217;s nothing to sustain that, um, number one,&#8221; Biden began, before pivoting to give a rambling response that in no way addressed the point of Griffin&#8217;s question. &#8220;Number two, you know, think of what we were left with, we were left with a circumstance where we — uh — we had an insurrection? When I started, we — not since the Civil War.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden then appeared to blame the pandemic — and one million dead Americans — on President Donald Trump, adding, &#8220;We had a circumstance where we were in a position that we — uh — well, the pandemic, because of the incompetence of the last outfit, end up over a million people dying, a million people dying. And we&#8217;re also in a situation where we found ourselves unable to deal with a lot of just basic issues and, uh, which I won&#8217;t go into here in the interest of time &#8230; and so we went to work and we got it done, and you know one of the things that, well, that —&#8221;</p>
<p>The former president appeared to lose his train of thought then, prompting Jill Biden to jump in and answer the question for him — and she tried to suggest that the authors of the books did not know what they were talking about.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, one of the things I think is that the people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And they didn&#8217;t see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean, he&#8217;d get up, he&#8217;d put in a full day, and then at night he&#8217;d — I&#8217;d be in bed, you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings, working with staff &#8230; I think he was a great president.&#8221;</p>
<p>She concluded with a jab at President Trump, saying, &#8220;If you look at things today, give me Joe Biden any time.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Farah Griffin notes that Biden was pushed out by Democratic Party insiders and donors, including personal friends. &#8220;Can I ask what your relationship is with President Obama and how you address those concerns that they raised?&#8221;<br />
Biden claims: &#8220;The only reason I got out of the race… <a href="https://t.co/Wtbjwp9UOY">pic.twitter.com/Wtbjwp9UOY</a></p>
<p>— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1920512176164323747?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Griffin pushed back lightly, noting that Biden ultimately left the 2024 presidential race after some prodding from members of his own party — including former President Barack Obama, with whom he had served as vice president for eight years.</p>
<p>&#8220;Can I ask what your relationship is with President Obama and how you address those concerns that they raised?&#8221; she asked.</p>
<p>Biden insisted that the only reason he&#8217;d left the presidential race was to avoid further division within the Democratic Party.</p>
