Recent statements by President Biden, including claims of meeting deceased French President Francois Mitterrand, have fueled concerns over his mental acuity, with 60% of US voters expressing worries about his cognitive decline. This adds to a series of gaffes since taking office, prompting a nationwide poll on the issue.

In a recent address in Las Vegas, US President Joe Biden stirred controversy by recalling a meeting with former French President Francois Mitterrand, who passed away in 1996. Biden's reminiscence of the encounter, which allegedly took place in 2021, has raised eyebrows globally.

During his speech, Biden mentioned his participation in a G7 meeting shortly after assuming office, where he purportedly interacted with Mitterrand. However, given Mitterrand's demise nearly three decades ago, scepticism surrounds Biden's account.

Francois Mitterrand, a prominent figure in French politics, served as President from 1981 to 1995. His tenure marked a significant period in France's history. Mitterrand's passing in January 1996, due to prostate cancer, was mourned internationally, underlining his enduring influence.

This incident adds to a string of verbal blunders by President Biden since his inauguration. From misstating COVID-19 death tolls to confusing world leaders and locations, Biden's verbal slips have drawn widespread attention on social media platforms.

A recent poll indicates that 60% of US voters perceive a decline in Biden's mental sharpness. Concerns over his ability to lead persist, with a significant portion of respondents suspecting media complicity in downplaying the issue.

As the Biden administration prepares for reelection, the president's cognitive health emerges as a focal point of public discourse. With opinions divided and scepticism growing, the impact of these revelations on future electoral outcomes remains uncertain.
