Former Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel — who is 94 years old — wondered whether President Biden belongs in a nursing home instead of the White House following last week’s debate disaster. 'I have never been more shocked and embarrassed by any presidential debate than I was last Thursday,' Rangel, who served in Congress from 1971 to 2017, said Sunday on 770 WABC radio’s 'The Cats Roundtable.' 'One a convicted felon who has no respect for the truth, for morality.
It’s clear that Biden was shaky in responding … One has to think about what happens in four years.' Biden’s debate performance was so troubling that voters have to be reminded that Trump could be sentenced to prison time for his conviction in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, Rangel said. He said in most states Republicans and Democrats will vote for their party nominee despite their flaws, and the election comes down to seven battleground states. 'If Trump is in jail, Republicans will vote for him. If Biden is in a nursing home, are going to vote for him,' he said.
During the debate, Biden frequently stumbled over his answers and at one point froze and then said 'I beat Medicare.' Rangel, during the latter part of 46 years in Congress, struggled with his physical health but appeared mentally sharp.
