(ConservativeHub.com) – In a recent interview with Fox Business, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy spoke about President Joe Biden’s method of communication during private meetings. According to McCarthy, despite the absence of a traditional teleprompter, Biden often relies on a set of notecards to guide the conversation, even in smaller gatherings. McCarthy observed that during discussions, such as those regarding the debt ceiling, the President tended to adhere closely to these cards, making it challenging to steer the conversation in a different direction.

McCarthy expressed a mix of respect and concern, acknowledging Biden’s long service to the country while also suggesting the President doesn’t have the capacity to fulfill the demanding role due to his age. This concern about Biden’s age and reliance on notecards, especially when addressing prepared questions from donors at private fundraising events, has been echoed in recent media reports. These reports suggest that Biden’s method of preparation and communication, including the use of notecards to answer anticipated questions, has raised eyebrows among some supporters regarding his effectiveness and agility as the nation’s leader.

At 81, President Biden stands as the oldest president in U.S. history, a fact that has not escaped public and media scrutiny. Recent discussions have been fueled further by comments from a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, which described Biden as an elderly individual with challenges in recalling significant personal milestones. These insights and observations contribute to an ongoing dialogue about the dynamics of leadership, age, and the demands of the presidency in the contemporary political landscape.
