President Biden’s 81st birthday marked the beginning even more conversations Regarding his age and declining cognitive acuity, two things that Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, considers valid reasons for concern.
“(The decline) is happening quickly,” Jackson told “Sunday Morning Futures” guest anchor Sean Duffy.
“As you said, I’ve taken care of three presidents…so I know firsthand what it takes to be commander in chief and head of state. It’s a grueling job, both mentally and physically. This man can’t do the job. He has proven to us every day that he can’t do the job, but it’s going to get worse.

Jackson served as a physician under the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations and has previously sounded the alarm about Biden’s cognitive acuity, even requiring him to take a cognitive test or drop out of the 2024 race.
Jackson said the decline has been evident for some time, looking back on Biden as a candidate before his 2020 matchup against then-President and current Republican front-runner Donald Trump, whom Jackson supported for their 2024 rematch .
“It is simply unbelievable how far he has degenerated in just his term in office. We cannot afford to have this man in power for the rest of this term and then for another four years. He is making us “I’m already at great risk right now,” he said.

Meanwhile, younger voters lament that the president is “out of touch” with everyone, as his support among Gen Z voters — a crucial demographic for Democrats — erodes in recent polls.
A recent NBC News poll, for example, indicated that Trump was leading Biden by four percentage points among registered voters ages 18 to 34.
Although prominent names like California Governor Gavin Newsom and former First Lady Michelle Obama have been brought up in speculation while many warn against letting Biden serve as the Democratic nominee, his potential replacement remains uncertain.

Jackson, continuing his discussion with Duffy, listed a series of concerns he has about the direction the country is heading, emphasizing the crisis at the southern borderinternational tensions and the economy.
“(Look at) the wars we’re getting into. Things that wouldn’t happen if Donald Trump were here because our enemies don’t fear us anymore. They have no respect for us anymore and our adversaries don’t trust us anymore .us, and that’s because we don’t have the leadership we need in the White House,” he said.
“It’s because this man, even if he wanted to, cannot provide this leadership. He is no longer physically and cognitively fit to hold a position, and someone in his entourage must take over and give him raise awareness about it, and it must move forward for the safety and security of this country.”
