US President Joe Biden’s approval has taken a major hit as almost two-thirds of respondents for a recent NBC poll reported 'major concerns' over his mental and physical capability. In contrast, a little above a third of respondents expressed 'major concerns' over former US president Donald Trump’s mental and physical health for the top job. Mr Biden’s approval amongst African-American voters has taken a major slump since his first year as president – plummeting by 17 points, with Latino support dropping 18 points. During an interview in 2020 with American radio host Charlamagne tha God, Joe Biden accused African-American voters of not being “black” if they didn’t vote for him. The US President also called rapper LL Cool J 'boy' at a Congressional Black Caucus event over the weekend. Democrat Senator Cory Booker previously called out Mr Biden in 2019 for using the same inappropriate language in reference to African-American men. Many users took to X to show their disappointment in the US President following the NBC poll results, including one user who referred to the commander-in-chief as the 'worst kind of racist'.

Joe Biden’s re-election run ‘more untenable’ over timeThe controversy surrounding Hunter Biden will likely cause “panic” across the Democrat Party as President Joe Biden’s run for re-election becomes “more untenable” as time passes, The Australian’s Greg Sheridan says. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched impeachment inquiries against the President over allegations he “abused power, obstruction and corruption” in relation to foreign deals Hunter Biden was involved in. He referenced the findings of several House Committees which claimed to have shown wrongdoing tied to the business dealings of the President's son. “I think Biden will be really scared that he and his family will be prosecuted over the Hunter Biden scandals and his best safety for that is a Democrat victory,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “He would like to be the guy himself, obviously, but if Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer or Pete Buttigieg is the president, they are certainly not going to prosecute Joe Biden.”
