The White House was quick to dispute reporters' focus on Trump's health, pointing to his health reports and the lack of media coverage of Biden over his mental acuity problems.
Biden's mental acuity has been under the Conservative microscope since before the 2020 election. However, concerns among the mainstream media did not increase until February 2024, when special counsel Robert Gur, who was investigating Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents as vice president, announced that he would not recommend criminal charges against Biden for possession of classified materials after his vice presidency, calling Biden “a compassionate, well-intentioned elderly man with a poor memory.”
