White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was met with a barrage of questions regarding President Biden’s health on Tuesday during the first press briefing since last week’s debate.
KJP was asked about reports of Biden’s decline; recent comments from Nancy Pelosi; Biden taking cold medicine, and more.
At one point, KJP was asked point-blank if Biden has dementia.
Watch some of the highlights from the briefing below:

🚨🚨🚨
"Does President Biden, at 81 years old, have Alzheimer's, any form of dementia, or degenerative illness that may cause these sorts of lapses?"
