Interest in the issue of Joe Biden's health eligibility is no longer just a matter that the opposition at home cares about. It has become clear that the American President suffers from health problems due to his advanced age, which hinders him from performing many basic functions.
The last time Biden appeared in public, it was clear that he was finding it difficult to communicate and convey information with sufficient clarity, as we have experienced with all previous presidents in the White House. Surely there is someone stirring the scene in the background. This will have a direct impact on the course of the upcoming elections, and I believe that Trump will use this card.

No question about it, Trump will and that is one of the things the Democrat party could feel afraid of.
To me using someone else's health or cognitive disfunction in order to get political advantage is a very low end when comes to politics. It would have been frown upon a few decades in the past, just another signal on how politics have devolved and turned into a circus.
From an objective point of view, the Democratic Party should have taken this factor into consideration when selecting its presidential candidate. It is true that the presidential law allows candidates to be of advanced age, but it does not take into account the health condition that elderly people may fall into after years of sitting in the presidential chair. Today, after confirming the deteriorating health condition of the president, it is certain that there is someone managing the affairs of the presidency behind the scenes, so the president is just a puppet who carries out what they dictate to him.

Ironically enough, Trump himself has committed some mistakes in lastest speeches, messing up names of presidents and mixing up Obama with Hillary Clinton. Hope someday we can see younger people in charge.
The same thing must be taken into consideration by Republicans if they intend to play the card of the president's health condition, because it would not be reasonable to replace a president who is incapable of health with another president in a similar condition.I personally do not agree with calling him a puppet, I still believe he has willpower over his actions and thoughts, though he definitely could be getting help from aides and honestly, a president getting help from aides and the party should not be a negative thing nowadays. But since health has become a talking point in politics, sadly a new stigma has been born out of it.
Ideally, people won't see the age of a president to attack him, but just wish him good, a speedy recovery and only focus on the political standings. Trump is already introducing mocking people appearance and weight into politics, so I would not be surprised (but sad) if in 5 years, mocking others body became politically correct in America
As a neutral American citizen, I will wish my president the best of health regardless of my ideological beliefs. But the president must be in good health, so I wish that for him, and if a health defect occurs that leads to a defect in his performance of his duties, then I should be worried. This point of view has nothing to do with political positions, but the best interest of the state requires it.
On this same basis, we cannot blame the opposition if it exploits the president’s health condition as a pressure card, especially since the elections are approaching. The same thing could become the opposite, and the Democrats will not hesitate to bet on all possible cards to win. This is politics, it is the "art of the possible."
As you said the "art of the possible". Well I wish him good health but I would want to prefer a much younger person with good reputation, competence and capacity to govern the people.
This is actually what any rational person who thinks about who is qualified to lead a country the size of the United States would hope for. But the process of selecting presidents is always subject to political logic that is promoted in a populist manner through media channels targeting simple minds. According to the US presidential candidacy laws, it is important for the candidate to be in good health, as confirmed by medical experts, but there is no guarantee that he will remain in the best of health over time, especially if he is old at the time of his candidacy.
