Biden reportedly failed to remember top aides’ names and once didn’t recognize George Clooney. Aides also worried he would need a wheelchair.

On Tuesday, Penguin Press released excerpts of a new book by CNN host Jake Tapper, who grew up in Queen Village, and fellow journalist Alex Thompson. And the title of the book couldn’t be more clear: Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.

Tapper and Thompson's book, "Original Sin," paints a damning portrait of Biden's team covering up his diminished state before the election.
