Former President Joe Biden on Friday joked about his mental fitness during his first public remarks since announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis.
His comments come amid growing scrutiny over his cognitive decline, fueled by recent book releases—including Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, published May 20.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, I can’t walk,” Biden quipped to reporters after a Memorial Day event. “And I could beat the hell out of both of them.”

Biden’s team has pushed back on the material included in the book.
“There is nothing in this book that shows Joe Biden failed to do his job, as the authors have alleged, nor did they prove their allegation that there was a cover up or conspiracy,” a Biden spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Nowhere do they show that our national security was threatened or where the President wasn’t otherwise engaged in the important matters of the Presidency. In fact, Joe Biden was an effective President who led our country with empathy and skill.”
