Iconic sports announcer and vocal Democrat Bob Costas has accused the Democratic Party of "gaslighting" its voters by pretending that President Biden was not going through an obvious mental decline. In an interview with CNN's Michael Smerconish, Costas reflected on Biden's infamous presidential debate performance that had Democrats calling for him to step out of the race.
"That one atrocious night was simply writ-large what could be seen for years and years, that he is in serious decline," Costas told Smerconish. "Nobody should be president when they're 85 or 86, including the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, but this guy is clearly in decline at this point."
Costas went on to say that Democrats have continued to defend Biden despite the obvious cognitive issues he has had. "Many Democrats are still saying this ... they lay out all the reasons why Donald Trump is loathsome and a threat to democracy and an existential threat, and they say that's why we have to get behind Joe Biden. No, that's exactly why Joe Biden must be ushered out," he clarified.
The sports broadcaster was definitely ahead of the curve in terms of Democrats who have called for Biden's replacement. Costas came out in February 2024 and said that the president was too frail to complete a second term. He said at the time that "at best" President Joe Biden could "squeak by" to beat Trump in 2024, but even if he was re-elected, "It's very likely that he cannot complete his second term."
Costas' comments come at a time when Democrats are struggling to shore up support for Biden following a miserable June debate performance and shaky cleanup effort. Some professional Democratic political operatives have said that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, with blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be indelible and could seal the incumbent's electoral fate.
However, Costas' criticism of Biden's mental decline has been met with some pushback from Democrats who argue that the president is still fit to serve. Nevertheless, Costas' comments highlight the growing concern among some Democrats about Biden's ability to lead the country.
As the 2024 election approaches, it remains to be seen whether Biden will be able to overcome these concerns and win re-election. In the meantime, Costas' comments serve as a reminder that even some Democrats are questioning Biden's fitness for office.
