(Washington Reuters) The U.S. Department of Justice released a report on Thursday (February 8) saying that Biden's memory has declined, like dropping a shock bomb, pushing the brain power and age considerations of ** candidates into the line of fire and becoming the new focus of the campaign, and the only three remaining candidates are fighting offensive and defensive battles around this topic.

The 77-year-old former Trump questioned the lack of "mental capacity" of his opponents, 81-year-old Biden, and 52-year-old former US permanent representative to the United Nations, Haley.

Similarly, Haley, who lags behind Trump in the Republican Party, also attacked Trump and Biden, pointing out that Trump is mentally deficient and Biden is too old to be a **. Her campaign also issued a statement saying that Biden "should immediately take a mental aptitude test" and make his results public.

The Biden campaign similarly attacked Trump's age and mental state, saying that Trump was only three years younger than Biden, often walked wobbly, and had recently made misrepresentations such as confusing names. Dacro, a spokesman for the Biden team, said in a statement: "Every time Trump opens his mouth, it feels like he's confused, he's deranged, or he's lying, or worse." ”

According to a Reuters Ipsos survey conducted in September last year, as many as 77 percent of respondents believe that Biden is too old to continue working, and 56 percent believe that Trump is also too old. To that end, Haley is calling for mental aptitude tests for candidates over the age of 75.

Biden is the oldest ** in the history of the United States. According to the Justice Department report, when questioned, Biden forgot the year in which Obama's term as deputy began and ended, and the year in which his eldest son, Beau Biden, died. In addition, Biden made another slip of the tongue when talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Thursday, misrepresenting Egypt as Mexico.
