During a tour of the catastrophic damage left by Hurricane Helene, President Joe Biden’s alarming mental decline was on full display. In Raleigh, North Carolina, as Biden received a briefing from FEMA, he was seen walking slowly to his chair, heavily reliant on aides who hovered closely around him. The scene, captured on video, has left many questioning his ability to handle ongoing national crises, especially after he abandoned his 2024 campaign and bowed out of the race for a second term.
Watch the video for yourself—Americans deserve answers about Biden’s fitness for office:
Concerns over Biden’s cognitive decline are nothing new, but this episode has sent shockwaves across social media. As the nation grapples with recovering from one of the most devastating hurricanes in recent memory, Biden’s apparent mental struggles have become a focal point for critics. The president seemed visibly disoriented, raising fresh doubts about his capacity to effectively manage disaster relief efforts.
While Biden fumbled through the briefing, FEMA has yet to reach the hardest-hit areas in western North Carolina, where countless people remain stranded without food, water, or medical supplies. Instead, private charities have stepped in, doing the work that should fall under the federal government’s purview.
Civilian volunteers like @CoryMillsFL are paying out of pocket to help save lives in North Carolina.
Nearby Fort Bragg (Liberty) has DOZENS of helicopters, field hospitals, water trucks, etc ready for humanitarian relief but the Pentagon hasn’t told them to go help.

WAITING ON TITLE 10 Orders from @JoeBiden / @KamalaHarris—directing SECDEF to redirect military assets for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA).
Lack of coordination, lack of proactive preparedness, lack of pre-planned responses…
