President Joe Biden has reportedly suffered a concerning “15 to 20” episodes of cognitive decline over the course of the past year, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein revealed that President Joe Biden has suffered many “marked incidents of cognitive decline” in recent months.
While President Biden’s suspected cognitive decline was showcased on the debate stage for all to see last week, Bernstein claimed that those within the White House have known about Biden’s declining mental acuity for longer than they initially let on.
Bernstein also claimed that Biden’s abysmal debate performance against Trump was not a “one off” but rather the latest example of the aging president’s rapid decline.
“These are people very close to President Biden, who love him, have supported him and among them are some people who have raised a lot of money for him, and they are adamant that what we saw the other night is not a one off,” Bernstein explained on CNN on Monday night.
“That there have been 15, 20, occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed,” the legendary journalist continued.
"They are adamant that what we saw the other night is not a one off."
According to Bernstein, several White House staffers – and even some reporters – have witnessed President Biden’s concerning episodes take place behind closed doors.
He also claimed that the episodes have drastically increased over the course of the past six months.
“What's so significant is the people that this is coming from and also how many people around the president are aware of such incidents including some reporters incidentally who have witnessed some of them,” Bernstein revealed on Monday night.
“These people who have supported him, loved him, campaigned for him, see him often,” he continued. “They say that in the last six months particularly there have been marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.”
