RFK Jr: Jill Biden should suggest Joe step aside if his cognitive abilities are diminished

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., was asked whether he believes President Biden should step aside at the end of his first term after a special counsel's report found him to be an "elderly man with poor memory."

Kennedy told Fox News if he were in Biden's position, he would hope someone in his own family would politely suggest he step away from the political limelight if his mental acuity is as diminished as special counsel Robert Hur suggested.

"I think anybody can make up their mind about [Biden's situation] as well as I can. I hope that if he has the kind of cognitive challenges that the special counsel indicated he has, and if I were in that position, a member of my family or staff would approach me and assist me in gently stepping down," Kennedy said on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Host Jesse Watters followed up by asking whether that is now the best role for first lady Jill Biden to play.

"Yeah," Kennedy replied. "I think she should."

However, he added that if Biden believes he is fit to continue his re-election bid, he should agree to "unscripted discussions" in public and must have a debate with his challengers.

"[T]ell us what he's going to do about closing the border. Tell us … what he's going to do about restoring the middle class, about ending the… forever-wars around the world, about unraveling corporate capture and all these issues that are critical to our country right now," he said.

"We need a president who is on the ball, somebody who we all trust to answer that phone call at 3:00 in the morning…"

As Watters also noted, other press outlets began reporting on rumblings inside Democratic circles about potential Biden
