Democratic Party figures, including U.S. President Joe Biden, have joined in on the controversy over former President Donald Trump’s mental health that arose during the Republican presidential primary.
The Republican Party has repeatedly voiced concerns about the aging President Biden (81), saying, “There are concerns about his cognitive ability (mental health) to carry out his duties as president.” It is interpreted that President Biden and the Democratic Party are diluting the Republican Party’s attacks through the same controversy over former President Trump (77), while also putting a check on the ‘Trump trend theory’.

However, on the other hand, there are concerns that these attacks from President Biden and the Democratic Party will return to President Biden like a boomerang.
The Hill said, “The attack on former President Trump poses a significant risk to the Democratic Party,” and “It is clear that Biden’s age is an issue for voters, and by making (the same) attack on Trump, Biden will make the next slip of the tongue.” “Or, if you stumble on stage, you could face the same attacks from the Republican Party.”
