As per reports, US President Joe Biden is dealing with serious health issues that have effectively reduced his working capacity to just six hours a day. A report by Axios revealed that the 81-year-old Democratic leader is able to function only from 10 am to 4 pm. He is also reportedly more prone to verbal flubs and fatigue while working outside this narrow six-hour window.
The report, which comes just a day after his abysmal performance in the presidential debate against ex-president Donald Trump, has raised more concerns about his health. It is even more concerning that Biden would be well above 86 towards the end of his potential second stint in the White House.

Owing to Biden's grave medical issues, White House officials are forced to arrange his public appearances and other commitments within the specified time frame.
Even though they observe glaring signs of absent-mindedness in Biden, they often dismiss them as mere gaffes.
Biden's poor show in debate
The 90-minute debate that took place earlier this week between Biden and Trump was scheduled for 9pm - five hours after his peak performance window collapsed.
During the debate, the president looked absent-minded on several occasions and appeared struggling to articulate coherent thoughts.
In one instance, Biden said,…"making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the with the COVID, excuse me, dealing with everything we have to do with...We finally beat Medicare".
Trump obviously was quick to capitalise upon his gaffe and quipped, "He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.”
“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he did, either,” Trump replied to one of Biden's responses.
A day after the debate, Biden looked more confident during a political rally in North Carolina, where he said, "I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to,” he said. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth!”
