Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to slur her words during an interview over the weekend as she defended President Joe Biden amid the fallout from his disastrous debate performance last week. Pelosi made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with co-host Dana Bash when asked if Biden should step aside given how glaringly obvious it’s becoming to the majority of voters that Biden lacks the mental fitness needed to serve as president. “This is an opportunity for Joe Biden to go out there and show he has the stamina and the rest,” Pelosi said. “And, by the way, while the press — and, for some reason, they don’t — there are health care professionals who think that Trump has dementia, that his connection — his thoughts do not go together, not only that he just lies; he doesn’t even know the truth.” “So, if we’re just talking about mental acuity, let’s be fair about it,” she continued. “I don’t think Tom Friedman thinks that Donald Trump should be president of the United States. And while he may be saying we’re enablers, we see Joe Biden up close. We know how attuned he is to the issues, how informed he is.” “When I debate with him about legislation — and not debate, but discuss it with him. He’s right there,” she concluded. “So in any case, it was a bad night. Let’s not sugarcoat that. It was a bad night. It was a great presidency.” WATCH: WATCH: Nancy Pelosi mumbling and bumbling her way through her CNN appearance tries to defend Joe Biden’s debate performance through her own brain malfunction: “It was a bad night.

Nearly three-fourths of voters doubt President Joe Biden is fit to serve after his shaky debate performance last week, according to a new poll. CBS News and YouGov found 72% of registered voters do not believe Biden, 81, has the mental and cognitive health to be president while 27% said that he does.

Half of registered voters said former President Donald Trump, 78, does have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president while 49% said that he does not. Three weeks ago, on June 9, CBS News and YouGov found more registered voters viewed Biden as being capable of performing the duties of commander in chief. At the time, 65% of respondents did not think Biden was fit to serve while 35% said that he did possess the mental and cognitive health for the job. Democrats are reportedly panicking after the debate on Thursday and there is a push, including by The New York Times’ editorial board, for Biden to leave the race.

Among Democratic registered voters, 46% say Biden should not be running for president, a 10-point increase over the 36% who said the same in the earlier poll. Most voters agreed Biden should not be running because of his age, decisions he might make in office, his record as president, and ability to campaign effectively. Ultimately, 55% of Democratic registered voters said Biden ought to continue running when asked if he should be the nominee while 45% said he should step aside. CBS News said its new poll is based on a national sample of 1,130 registered voters contacted from June 28-29 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.2 points.
