‘Slurred speech’: Republicans will say Biden’s performance ‘proves he’s too old for the job’

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says the Republicans will be able to say Joe Biden’s State of the Union performance “proves he’s too old for the job” because his “speech was slurred”. Biden delivered his third State of the Union address on Thursday (local time). “Both sides will be able to say that they won tonight,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News host James Morrow. “The Republicans will be quick to point out, throughout the speech, Biden’s speech was slurred, he had difficulty communicating and following along the text. “If you were following the text and listening to the speech, sometimes Biden was nowhere near where he was supposed to be. “The Republicans will say it proves he’s too old for the job and not up to it, and the Democrats will say that it certainly proves he’s absolutely ready.”
