Crockett Defends Biden’s Mental Sharpness, Says It’s ‘Thousand Times Better’ Than Trump’s

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, took to Katie Couric's Next Question podcast to staunchly defend former President Joe Biden's mental sharpness, dismissing concerns raised by a House Oversight Committee probe into an alleged cover-up of his cognitive decline. Crockett, a rising star in the Democratic Party, boldly claimed Biden’s mental acuity outshines President Donald Trump’s by a “thousand times.”

The investigation, spearheaded by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., is digging into whether Biden’s inner circle concealed his mental state, even using tools like an autopen to mimic his signature on key orders. Yet, Crockett stood firm, saying she never saw any sign of mental slippage in her interactions with Biden. “I’d take Joe over Trump any day,” she declared, likening Biden to a wise, if slower, grandparent whose heart is in the right place.

Crockett emphasized Biden’s focus on policies for the American people, not just “rich friends,” and praised his ability to surround himself with capable advisors who kept the nation secure. She contrasted this with Trump, arguing Biden’s leadership never risked global trade wars or confused allies with adversaries. “Even if you call Joe deficient,” she quipped, “his worst day is still leagues ahead of Trump’s best.”

Her defense comes as reports swirl about Biden’s mental state, but Crockett remains unapologetic, urging the public to judge leaders with the same standard. Her loyalty to Biden reflects a broader Democratic push to highlight his legacy over lingering doubts.
