Summary
Democrats defended former President Joe Biden after a report by special counsel Robert Hur characterized him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” However, audio tapes from the investigation have been released, revealing Biden’s struggles to remember names and dates. The tapes were obtained by a nonprofit through public records requests after a prolonged legal battle. Biden’s attorneys had sought to keep the tapes private.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
The Democrats rushed to defend Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris calling the report “inaccurate and inappropriate.” Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said the report was “gratuitous.” But the tapes reveal Biden’s consistent lapses in memory, including struggling to recall the names of economic advisers and the date of a memorial service. The tapes were marked by long pauses and Biden’s admissions of forgetting names and dates.
The Democrats’ defense of Biden was a performance, a familiar routine.
