Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Concerns about Biden's age and mental fitness are likely overblown
Link to tweet
But concerns about Bidens age and mental fitness are likely overblown, according to experts on aging and the brain, as well as actuarial tables used by the insurance industry to estimate the health and longevity of customers.....
He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I havent seen any change, Kassell said. I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage, either from the hemorrhage or from the operations that he had. There was no damage whatsoever....
Bidens physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, said in a statement provided by the campaign that Vice President Biden is in excellent physical condition. He is more than capable of handling the rigors of the campaign and the office for which he is running.
Kassell, who performed brain surgery on Biden, went a step further: I am going to vote for the candidate who I am absolutely certain has a brain that is functioning. And that narrows it down exactly to one.

brain in a jar on the Medical Examiner's desk could do a better job than trump.
