Former Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio blasted President Joe Biden for refusing to take several steps that he claimed could assuage concerns about his age in the wake of a June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump.

Biden has resisted calls to step aside after a poor performance in the CNN debate with former President Donald Trump during which Biden froze at least twice, lost his train of thought and made multiple verbal gaffes. Ryan, who came under fire from Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania for speaking out about Biden, said he was trying to “speak the truth” about concerns regarding Biden’s mental capacity.
