President Joe Biden has lost the political spotlight to Vice President Kamala Harris, but despite his obvious diminished mental capacity, he still clings to his office, which means that what little he says in public still affects national policy, whether his statements are intentional or not.

This week, en route to a rare joint appearance with Harris in Maryland, Biden simply answered, “I do,” when asked by a reporter if he agrees with the socialist governments of Colombia and Brazil that Nicolas Maduro’s regime should hold another election in Venezuela, this one not rigged by the government.
