Biden Aides Floated Wheelchair Use in Second Term, Book by Tapper and Thompson Says

  • Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will release a book on May 20 revealing Biden aides discussed wheelchair use if he won reelection.
  • The discussion followed Biden's 2023 fall and worsening physical condition evident in his halting walk and increasing mobility concerns.
  • The book, based on over 200 interviews mainly with Democratic insiders, details Biden's physical deterioration, aides protecting him, and a poor June 2024 debate.
  • Physician Kevin O'Connor warned a bad fall could require a wheelchair for recovery, while a Biden spokesperson said aging caused physical changes but not mental decline.
  • Biden exited the 2024 race weeks after the debate, with aides and family maintaining he stayed mentally sharp despite growing public skepticism.
