Senate Republicans Launch Probe Into Biden's Cognitive Fitness: Who Was Really Running the Country?

 

In a bold political move, Senate Republicans are set to launch an unprecedented investigation into former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity while in office — raising questions about presidential authority and transparency in leadership.

📌 GOP Senators Lead Hearing on Biden’s Cognitive Health

Senators Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and John Cornyn (R-TX) announced that they will co-chair a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing next month focusing on President Biden’s mental capacity during his time in office. The inquiry will explore concerns that Biden may not have been fully in control of presidential duties, particularly during what they term as his “decline.”

The investigation will reportedly seek to determine whether decisions were made by others behind the scenes, prompting the central question: Who was really running the country?

🗞️ Media Alleged to Have “Covered It Up”

According to the senators, the mainstream media played a role in “covering up” signs of cognitive decline, shielding Biden from scrutiny during his presidency. They aim to expose what they claim was a pattern of selective reporting and avoidance of critical medical transparency.

“The American people deserve to know the truth about who was making executive decisions,” said Sen. Schmitt. “This is not about politics. It’s about national accountability.”

🖋️ The Autopen Controversy Resurfaces

One focal point of the upcoming hearing is Biden’s use of an autopen — a mechanical device that replicates a person’s signature. While the device has been used by multiple presidents, including Donald Trump, its repeated use by Biden sparked fresh criticism from Republican lawmakers who argue that it may indicate a lack of personal involvement in critical decisions.

Trump himself has long suggested that Biden’s mental sharpness was questionable, and his critics are now pushing for a formal inquiry to substantiate those claims.

🔍 What the Investigation Could Mean

This upcoming probe could set a new precedent for how mental fitness is evaluated at the executive level. While presidential health has always been a sensitive subject, this is the first time a formal Senate hearing will investigate cognitive performance and behind-the-scenes influence during a recent administration.
