This is the first question for potential Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg in 2028, as he briefly met with Iowa veterans and military families this week:

“Has President Joe Biden experienced a cognitive decline during his tenure?” asked Buttigieg.

"Every time I need something from the West Wing, I understand," replied Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, who served as transport secretary for four years in the Biden administration.

After a second reporter followed up, asked, "Would it be better if he hadn't run for reelection?" Buttigieg replied, "Maybe. Now, in hindsight, I think most people would agree that it is."

New book blames Biden for Harris losing to Trump in 2024

Welcome to the preseason for the 2028 White House Game, where Democrats consider the presidential campaign to start taking the earliest steps.

As they did, they faced the initial gloves—questions about former President Joe Biden’s acumen in the final years of his tenure, and whether Democrats should be more violent early in the 2024 election cycle, calling on Biden to abandon his second semester at the White House.

“I think it’s one of the most important things they want to know,” longtime New Hampshire radio host Chris Ryan told Fox News, pointing to his audience in his popular morning news/talk program.

"Democratic voters are still working to resolve what happened and why," Ryan said, who has interviewed many people who are hoping for the White House over the years.

New book title

How the president has hoped to answer these questions will be an early test of their authenticity, with serious concerns about whether Biden has been mentally and physically dealing with the world’s toughest work for four years.

But Ryan noted that “every potential candidate varies according to President Biden’s distance.”

The potential 2028 contenders and other Democrats’ barbecue is again headlined because of Biden’s situation, provided by an excerpt from a new book, Original Crime: President Biden’s Decline, Covered, Covered Coverage and his disastrous choice to run again.

Biden withdrew from the White House last July, a month after a disastrous debate with the current president Donald Trump This sparked calls from fellow Democratic Party members to call for the then-81-year-old president to end his re-election.

At the time Vice President Kamala Harris replaced him at the top of the ticket, who eventually lost the November presidential election. Democrats also suffered a vote, lost control of the Senate, and failed to win a majority from the Republican Party.

Biden delayed the charges during his last year as president when he made a cognitive decline in his last year as president.

Rep. Ro Khanna of California was a leading supporter and agent in Biden's campaign in the 2024 election cycle. After the debate last June, when Democrats urged Biden to step out of the side to turn into a steady stream, Khanna likens the embattled president to Rocky Balboa, the underdog boxer of the big screen legend.

"Rebuilding trust, the Democrats must be honest. Given the fact that emerges, Joe Biden should not run for re-election, we should have an open elementary school," Karner wrote in a social media post.

"I have always admired Biden's resilience and the courage he showed after losing his son - often comparing that power to Rocky. I am an agent of the president of the party I support myself."

"But obviously we don't have all the photos, and in hindsight, President Biden should make a patriotic decision not to run is painful," Karner said.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, another Democratic lawmaker who guaranteed Biden, said there was “no doubt” when Politico asked Biden if he had experienced a cognitive decline. “The debate is whether this is enough to undermine his ability to serve as CEO.”

Murphy, who is considered a potential contender for 2028, said that as long as Biden stays in the 2024 game, as long as he is harmful to Democrats.

"I mean, isn't this self-evident? We lost," he said. "Obviously, in retrospect, we should do something different."

With less than four months in Trump's second term, Democrats have been following the 2028 presidential race

But Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, another White House candidate who may be Biden’s 2024 pregnancy, said in a CNN interview this week: “As a governor across the country, governors across the country have 160 stops on the entire tail, which is often busy with action, I’m busy with action, I’m busy with it.” Directly. ”

“I don’t see the president very often.”

But she added: “It really makes me question a lot of things I’ve known in the past year and a half.”

While potential competitors are answering questions about Biden in different ways, there is a consensus.

"We can't look hindsight. We have to prepare for some basic tests on the future of the country and the party," Buttigieg pointed out.
