CLOBBERED by back-to-back COVID infections and struggling with what experts see as signs of dementia, President Joe Biden has secretly dropped a bombshell to his inner circle - he won't run for reelection in 2024, sources tell GLOBE.
While no immediate public announcement is expected, the 79-year-old commander-in-chief, the oldest man ever sworn in as president, is determined to step out of the presidential picture sometime after the upcoming midterm elections to allow the Democratic Party time to choose his successor, tipsters tattle.
He will now become the first chief exec not to seek a second term since Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1968.
His historic decision follows glaring physical symptoms by White noticed House observers a shuffling gait and dilated pupils - that medical experts link to a loss of nerve control and moderate-to-severe stages of dementia.
"Those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease have pupils that take longer to adjust to the light," says Dr. Holly Schiff, a Greenwich, Conn., shrink who has not treated Biden.
"Those with even mild cognitive impairment show greater pupil dilation than those without any cognitive issues."
Schiff adds America's 46th president has been "exhibiting signs of early-stage dementia for some time."
