The Spin
Republican narrative
If anyone harbored doubts about Biden's age-related inabilities, the special counsel's report — and the president's bumbling response to it — should clear them all. Each time the Democratic party tries to deny it, Biden himself blows the lid open on his worst-kept secret. In any case, his age-related challenges are a "secret" only to him and his party, which somehow still expects the nation to give him four more years at the helm.
Democratic narrative
A political hatchet job was executed to perfection by a special counsel whose Beltway Republican credentials are well-known. Robert Hur has handed Donald Trump an easy line of attack against Biden in the run-up to the 2024 election. And it couldn't have been more below the belt than pulling the president's late son into the narrative of "If too senile to be prosecuted, then too senile to be president."
