From Fortune:

A special counsel report describing Joe Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and chronicling repeated occasions where the president struggled to recall basic facts is likely to deepen concerns about his age as he heads into a tough reelection battle.

The report from Special Counsel Robert Hur offers a jarring portrait of the president’s acuity, including examples of forgetting when key events took place and the details of critical foreign policy debates.

Voters have indicated that concerns about Biden’s age rank among their biggest concerns heading into an expected 2024 rematch with Donald Trump.

The special counsel report released Thursday cleared Biden of criminal wrongdoing after the discovery of classified materials at his home and personal office.

The report was released after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden’s campaign-trail gaffes, including recent misstatements about historical events.

The report received mixed reviews, with Biden’s attorneys criticizing the report for “highly prejudicial language,” while White House aides suggested Biden may have been distracted by important state matters during the interview.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman highlighted the special counsel report on Twitter, suggesting that Biden is done and will not run for another term.

Biden may also benefit from Trump’s long history of similar verbal gaffes, but concerns about his age continue to be a significant issue for voters.
