"Something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,'" Doocy said to Biden at a press conference on Feb. 8, 2024.
Biden responded: "I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I've been president and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation—"
Doocy then asked Biden how bad his memory was and if he could continue as president.

Democrats and Biden's White House initially criticized Hur for his report, repeatedly insisting he was "sharp" and that the special counsel was politically motivated.
Later in 2024, amid Biden's re-election campaign, Democrats called on him to drop his candidacy over his performance in the June presidential debate against Trump, citing his age and mental acuity. Biden, now 82, ended his presidential campaign in July but finished his term, and his vice president, Kamala Harris, was defeated by Trump in November's general election.
