🏈 Republicans are using Biden's debate fumble to argue that he's unfit to be in office now — much less into2029.
They're questioning Biden's ability to handle a world at war, hittingdown-ballot Democrats who have defended his mental acuity and calling for his removal through the 25th Amendment.
"My concern right now ... is not just all the Americans who watched this debate, it's what foreign leaders — our enemies — saw in that debate," Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senate GOP conference chair, told "Fox News Sunday."
🐘 The National Republican Congressional Committee pledged in a memo yesterday "to pin Democrats to a conspiracy to protect a president Americans do not believe should be serving another term."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee quickly pushed a clipped video of vulnerable Democratic senators defending Biden's fitness.
Republican candidates Tim Sheehy in Montana and Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania already have ads slamming Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Bob Casey (D-Pa.) over their defense of Biden's age and acuity.
