According to a June pre-debate poll, a majority of Americans feel dissatisfied with having to choose between either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. The debate did little to address anxieties that voters have about these two candidates. Post-debate polls indicate that President Biden now trails former President Trump, yet many voters remain undecided.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Peter Zeihan argues that both geriatric candidates are experiencing cognitive impairment and are unfit for office. Zeihan explains how he believes the election will play out this November, highlighting the independent voters who typically decide the fate of presidential elections.

Excerpted from Peter’s July 4 “Zeihan on Geopolitics” newsletter:
If you watched the presidential debate last week, I’m sure you’re really, really excited for the election this year! Since so many of you wanted me to talk about this fever dream we’re living in, I figured we’d do it on Independence Day.
For those that didn’t catch the debate, you can just head to your local retirement home and get the same experience from a couple of relics living there. The gist is that neither of these candidates are fit for office and a vote for either of them is a threat to national stability. Great Grandpa Biden — I mean President Biden — revealed how much his cognitive abilities have declined, slipping deeper into his deluded state. Trump was off in his demented-fairyland-state where lies are currency and angry tantrums are the status-quo.
At the end of the day, not much has changed since my first prediction.
