White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has insisted her boss is incredibly healthy and vivacious.

However, questions are swirling about whether she sees a different President Joe Biden in private than what the public gets to see, which have been fueled by Special Counsel Robert Hur’s shocking report about him.

During a press conference on Monday, a reporter asked, ā€œIs behaving differently behind closed doors? Because we don’t get to see that at all. And… when you interact with him privately, is there kind of a different level of vigor that is perhaps not as visible when we are all seeing him?ā€

Jean-Pierre began her response by noting the president’s recent travel.

ā€œWhen he was in Vegas, he took some questions that you all had and he tends to answer them in a lightweight, a funny way, and he’s sharp with his answers,ā€ she added.

The press secretary has previously tried to defend the president against concerns about his age.

In 2022, she told then-CNN journalist Don Lemon she can’t ā€œeven keep up with.ā€

But on Thursday, Special Counsel HurĀ released a reportĀ on his investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents.

He declined to recommend charges against the president, even though investigators ā€œuncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.ā€

Still, the report included several damaging sections. One portion labeled Biden a ā€œa sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.ā€

The report alsoĀ claimedĀ Biden ā€œdid not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.ā€

And on Sunday, anĀ ABC News/Ipsos pollĀ found a whopping 86% percent of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve another term.
