Original Note:
Tapper has not raised concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline prior to his upcoming book Original Sin. In 2020, Tapper dismissed such claims, attributing Biden’s speech issues to a stutter, and his coverage did not highlight these concerns, even after the first debate. https://nypost.com/2020/10/18/cnns-jake-tapper-spars-with-lara-trump-over-bidens-cognitive-decline/ https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2022/10/11/how-tapper-reeled-in-biden-00061299 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/30/joe-biden-decline-underreported
