Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel argued Tuesday that President Biden is not "mentally competent" to serve in the White House.

In an op-ed for The Hill published Tuesday, McDaniel wrote that special counsel Robert Hur's report "exposed the extent of the president's cognitive decline" and revealed how he is not mentally fit for office. The special counsel's report found that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" as a private citizen, including national security documents with "sensitive intelligence sources and methods" that were stored in his home, garage and office for decades.

"However, the special counsel declined to recommend charging Biden because he is an ‘elderly man with a poor memory … someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt,’" McDaniel wrote. "This isn’t just someone’s well-meaning parent or grandparent they’re talking about, it’s our commander in chief — and these findings raise serious concerns about Biden’s ability to handle the pressures of the office."

She went on to document several instances where Biden has displayed "confusion and obfuscation" as president, including at least nine times when the president has described conversations "with a dead or non-existent person" since taking office in 2021.
