Hawaiian Gov. Josh Green suspects Biden may soon tap Kamala Harris for the 2024 race as top Democrats fret over the president's mental stamina following a wobbly debate with Trump.

With concerns mounting over President Biden's mental acuity after a rather wobbly debate with former President Trump, top Democrats like Sen. Mark Warner and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are planning crisis meetings to discuss the future of the presidential race. According to Hawaiian Gov. Josh Green, Biden might step aside soon, potentially paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the ticket. Despite Biden's insistent claims of staying in the race, his closest advisers' counsel and his own reflections on winnability could shift the landscape dramatically.

Gov. Josh Green, who recently spoke to President Biden, shared his perspective on the president's dilemmas. He noted that Biden remains steadfast in his decision to stay the course, unless his inner circle advises him otherwise or he determines that the race is not winnable. Green emphasized, "The president is committed to making his own decision, heavily weighing the counsel of his trusted advisers. He even joked that everything was fine except for his brain, just to lighten the mood."

Green's comments come after Biden's performance in a debate with former President Donald Trump, which has fueled apprehensions within Democratic circles regarding Biden's mental sharpness. Observers noted Biden's occasional pauses and hesitations, which Green, a physician, reassured are normal for individuals of advanced age. 'Pauses are not indicative of a decline in capability but a part of the natural human process,' Green insisted. At this age, I'd say a pause is just Biden giving us a moment to catch up.

In a meeting with Democratic governors, Biden attempted to quell these concerns through humor. He quipped that everything was in order, except, perhaps, his brain. This self-deprecating joke was meant to exhibit his cognitive function still being intact, despite the pressures of his role. "It was a candid and unscripted conversation," Green said, emphasizing the president's transparency in the meeting.

However, the president's advanced age cannot be ignored. At 81, Biden, much like Trump, is subject to the same scrutiny regarding their capacities to lead. Governor Green pointed out, "Both candidates are elderly, and it would be unfair to single out Biden without admitting the same potential issues with Trump." These lapses, according to Green, should not overshadow the vast experience and wisdom that comes with age. As Biden joked during a recent meeting, "Everything is fine except for my brain," adding a touch of humor to the ongoing discussion about age and cognitive function.

The matter has evidently caused a stir among top Democrats, prompting strategic meetings among party heavyweights like Sen. Mark Warner and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. These discussions are set to explore pragmatic avenues for the future of the 2024 campaign, should Biden decide to bow out. Gov. Josh Green, with a touch of wit, noted that the prospect of Kamala Harris stepping in as the lead could be 'just what the doctor ordered.'

One aspect that could influence Biden's decision is the guidance from his advisers. These individuals have been integral in helping Biden navigate the tumultuous political landscape. Green emphasized the importance of Biden making the decision himself, based on advice from his trusted circle. During a recent meeting, Biden joked that everything was fine except for his brain, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise serious conversation.

While speculation continues to swirl, Biden has remained resolute in his public statements about running for a second term. He has repeatedly stated his intention to remain in the race, underscoring his commitment to seeing through the policies and initiatives he has set in motion during his first term. In a light-hearted moment, Biden even joked that everything was fine except for his brain, showing his ability to maintain humor amidst the intense scrutiny.

The next few days are set to be important as Biden considers his future. All eyes are on the president as he navigates this pivotal moment. In a recent meeting, he joked that everything was fine except for his brain—proving his sense of humor is still intact.
