President Biden has angrily criticised a special counsel report on classified documents which questioned his memory and ability to recall dates and events.

The US leader held a surprise news briefing at the White House, telling reporters: “My memory is fine.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur found that Mr Biden had mishandled classified documents but would not be charged.

The report made several scathing remarks, including suggesting his memory had “significant limitations”.

    Had his party prevent a primary process? Do you have even the slightest idea of how presidential elections work? The incumbent president enjoys the presumption of being the nominee as long as they can, and want to, run again. If you didn’t understand that the first time around, that’s your fault.

      10 percent of the States have removed, against the party rules, any candidate other than Biden from their primary ballots.

      Despite there being large enough percentages of support for debates, none were held. Debates that Biden absolutely would lose.

      I apparently understand primary elections more than you do if you believe the lie about the incumbent being the presumptive nomination means the process isn’t required and interfered with by the party.
