Harper also tweeted that "People close to Biden tell the authors that his deterioration first became noticeable in 2015. Tapper and Thompson point to tapes from 2017 that suggest 'Biden was really struggling' and 'his cognitive capacity seemed to have been failing him.'"

In other words, it "first became noticeable" when Biden was still Vice President of the United States. //

"..by 2024, cabinet secretaries confessed he couldn’t be relied on in an emergency," Harper also shared from the book.

Perhaps most disturbingly, Harper provided a quote from a Biden aide who said the quiet part out loud about Biden's 2024 reelection campaign:

“He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years—he’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while.”

Which, of course, meant that people who were not elected effectively would have been running the country, as many of us suspected was already happening.
