Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are co-authoring “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” despite years of denying that Biden’s mental faculties were a concern. The Penguin Random House book page lists the release date as May 20, 2025, and its ISBN is 9798217060672.

For example, Jake Tapper accused Lara Trump of making fun of people with speech impediments during an interview in October, 2020 and then cut the interview short when she pushed back.

Jake Tapper only began covering Biden’s decline after the infamous and disastrous June 27th, 2024 debate between Biden and Trump that effectively ended Biden’s re-election hopes. Here is some of that coverage.

They were not alone in pushing this lie as many in the mainstream media also echoed this sentiment. In fact, Joe Scarborough gave a monologue telling the American people “F-you” if you did not believe Biden was still mentally sharp just months before the debate.’

Update: The other co-author of the book Alex Thompson, was seen discussing how reporters and news agencies missed this story and got it wrong.
