Joe Biden is the oldest President of the USA. Time and again, the question arises as to whether he is still fit enough for the office. Now he is reported to have said that he needs more sleep.
According to media reports, US President Joe Biden wants to limit his evening appointments in future. The "New York Times" and the US broadcaster CNN reported, citing unnamed sources, that Biden announced this at a meeting with Democratic governors on Wednesday.
According to the report, Biden said that he would have to sleep more and work less. This also means no more events after 8 p.m. in the evening. CNN wrote that the 81-year-old's remark had angered some governors.
US media had previously reported that Biden was often not particularly fit, especially in the evening, and that there was a risk of slips of the tongue during such appointments. A week ago, Biden put in a disastrous performance in the evening TV duel against his Republican challenger Donald Trump.
The Democrat made several promises and lost the plot. After the performance, a debate broke out in the USA about whether Biden is really the right Democratic candidate for the presidential election in November.
