Actually, he used to be an amazing public speaker...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign#Status_among_candidates
He had a stutter as a small child, but overcame it long before he entered politics.
Like lots of people who overcame childhood stutters, he got really good at public speaking as an adult.
But those people don't do it naturally, it takes a lot of thought and a quick mind. When they start to get old, normal every day mental degradation hits them harder than most
So if youve only experienced Biden after he was 60, sure, I guess you would think he's always been shitty at it. The truth is, he's 80 fucking years old and obviously that's having an effect on him. And maybe we shouldn't be putting geriatric people in charge of the entire country.
Unfortunately this country has a short memory, most people don't remember all the lies that torpedoed his first election and made him wait 40 some years before trying to be president again.
