President Joe Biden made headlines again this week for all of the wrong reasons.
During a speech in Las Vegas, Nevada, the president spoke to a small crowd about his plan to lower housing costs for American families. But things took a turn when he began rambling and telling an incoherent story about how he was once the “poorest man in Congress.”
“I had the [inaudible] things to be listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years. I got a phone call, my wife was campaigning. I was campaigning up in New Hampshire back when that statistic came out in the nineties. And she called — I used to call them because the kids were little when I was away, and say, how’s everything going? I got this, fine. You know you’re in trouble when your wife or husband says ‘fine.’ I said, ‘what’s the matter?’ She said, ‘only elected officials’ husband and wife understand this,’” Biden began.
“She said ‘Did you read today’s paper?’ I said, ‘they don’t have today’s paper, Wilmington paper, Delaware, up in — up in — with Lahey, I’m with Lahey from Vermont.’ And she said ‘well, let me read it. Top of the fold, headline: Biden, poorest man in Congress. Is that true?’ I don’t know if it’s true, but it turned out it was true,” he added.
A new report, if accurate, will likely cause further concern among voters already worried that President Joe Biden’s mental status is compromised.

According to NBC News, Biden got angry and lashed out at his closest advisers and aides during a closed-door meeting in January after they told him he was losing to Trump in the battleground states of Georgia and Michigan. The outlet reported that its journalists spoke to several people who said they were in the room at the time.
“The report painted a picture of a re-election campaign that was — and is — in disarray less than a year before Nov. 5, when Biden will most likely face off against Trump — again — in a general election,” the Western Journal reported, citing NBC News.
The NBC report said that Biden has been at odds for months with his advisers about how best to convince voters to give him a second term amid record-low approval ratings, a migrant invasion he caused, stubborn inflation, rising food and gas prices, and sky-high lending rates.
