The recent missteps have created an unwelcome wrinkle for Trump, his campaign team and the larger Republican political apparatus.
Republicans have questioned whether Biden is able to serve as commander-in-chief, pointing to his age and mental fitness.
And, during a rally in South Carolina in September, Trump confused former Florida Gov.
“President Trump continues to dominate in primary polls and is winning against Crooked Joe Biden in the general election,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Instead of attacking Biden directly over his age, Trump instead tries to paint Biden as “incompetent,” and “cognitively impaired,” which he argues is not solely about the president’s age.
