President Joe Biden has faced countless criticism for his age and health, but Robert Hur’s report pushed it to the limit. Body language expert Jess Ponce III exclusively told Nicki Swift that Biden’s age will be a concern come the 2024 election. He explained, “The issue is poised to be a recurring theme as Republican pundits endeavor to challenge his capacity for discernment and effective governance over the next four years.” Hur’s was just the start of this pushback on Biden, but he took it too far.
According to NBC News, in his report, Hur alleged that Biden didn’t remember when his son, Beau, died, and the president wasn’t happy about this. Biden responded by saying, “How in the hell dare he raise that?” If you couldn’t tell in his response how angry he was about the accusation, Ponce told Nicki Swift that Biden’s body language gave it away. He said, “He vehemently declared, ‘How in the hell dare he raise that,’ punctuating his statement with purposeful pauses for emphasis. Briefly looking down and then up, he employed a common visual cue to underscore his point.” It’s not surprising Biden was angered by the question as he has faced immense loss. Ponce said, “The sensitive subject of his memory in relation to his deceased son evidently struck a chord.” Bidens’ son’s death is off limits, but the president will surely face more questions about his health and age as the election approaches.
