Former defense secretary: Biden looking weak on world stage ‘very, very serious’
SUMMARY
Former Trump defense secretary Mark Esper voiced concern about President Biden's recent debate performance, suggesting it might raise doubts among foreign allies and adversaries about Biden's ability to serve. On CNN, Esper questioned Biden's stamina for another term, hinting that his condition could worsen. Esper emphasized the importance of strong U.S. leadership against autocracies like Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Some GOP members, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, have suggested invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Biden. Despite growing calls for Biden to step aside, the president and the White House assert he will continue his campaign.
