US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.

In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: “My memory is fine.”

He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”

The inquiry found Mr Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed” classified files, but decided not to charge him.

    Had his party prevent a primary process? Do you have even the slightest idea of how presidential elections work? The incumbent president enjoys the presumption of being the nominee as long as they can, and want to, run again. If you didn’t understand that the first time around, that’s your fault.

      10 percent of the States have removed, against the party rules, any candidate other than Biden from their primary ballots.

      Despite there being large enough percentages of support for debates, none were held. Debates that Biden absolutely would lose.

      I apparently understand primary elections more than you do if you believe the lie about the incumbent being the presumptive nomination means the process isn’t required and interfered with by the party.

        No, sweetie, you really don’t understand the primary process, or how presidential elections work in this country.
