Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee, is speaking out about President Joe Biden’s mental state in the wake of a report in The Wall Street Journal titled: How the White House Functioned with a Diminished Biden in Charge. Li said Biden can no longer be the commander-in-chief.
“President Biden as a human being is no longer capable of executing the duties of the commander-in-chief,” Li told News Nation. “We kind of have a shadow presidency of his inner circle of people.”

The report outlines Biden’s staff insulating him from both the public and donors due in part to his inability to answer free-ranging questions.
He has also been kept at a distance from senior Democrats in Congress and members of his cabinet like Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“Well, I don’t want to get crucified again, but there are certain people around him, his senior advisors, who are essentially running the country,” Li said.
Li worked with Biden throughout the primary and general election in 2019 and 2020. She said back then he was fine. It wasn’t until 2023 that she noticed his decline.
The Wall Street Journal report gave insight into what the president has been like behind the scenes.
“At some events, the Biden campaign printed the pre-approved questions on notecards and then gave donors the cards to read the questions,” Li said. “Even with all these steps, Biden made flubs, which confounded the donors who knew that Biden had the questions ahead of time.”
