Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton said on Friday that during a recent run-in with President Biden, the aging POTUS didn’t recognize him; “For the first time, he didn’t seem to recognize me,” Moulton said.
Moulton wrote an op-ed for the Boston Globe on Friday calling for Biden to step aside.
“Every time we crossed paths and I caught his eye, he would break into that big, wide Joe Biden grin and say how glad he was to see me. It was like that just last Christmas at the White House Ball,” Moulton wrote in a column in the Boston Globe.
“More recently, I saw him in a small group at Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day,” the Massachusetts Democrat wrote. “For the first time, he didn’t seem to recognize me.”
“Of course, that can happen as anyone ages, but as I watched the disastrous debate a few weeks ago, I have to admit that what I saw in Normandy was part of a deeper problem,” Moulton explained.
“It was a crushing realization, and not because a person I care about had a rough night but because everything is riding on Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump in November,” he continued. “America needs him to win and, like most Americans, I’m no longer confident that he can. The president should bow out of the race.”
