A White House official has admitted that Joe Biden is "definitely slowing down" during an undercover investigation.
Guerrilla journalist James O’Keefe unveiled the secret footage of the cybersecurity policy analyst at the White House suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris is being kept on as Biden's 2024 running mate because of her sex and race.
The secretly filmed video showed O’Keefe and Charlie Kraiger - who is also a Foreign Affairs desk officer - at a restaurant in the Washington DC earlier this month.
In a video posted on social media, O’Keefe said: "Not only did he not recognise me, he sang like a bird".

Kraiger is heard discussing his concerns about Biden’s mental health before he adds: "I think they need to get rid of him or her [Kamala Harris]".
He said: "But no one in modern history has ever said, like, ‘We’re not going to renominate the president for a second term'."
When asked by O’Keefe if Biden will end up being the nominee, Kraiger replied: "Yes, and [Kamala Harris] will be the vice president nominee.
"There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn’t".

He added: "She’s not popular, but you can’t remove the first black lady to be vice president from the godd*mn presidential ticket.
"Like what kind of message are you going to send to like African-American voters?
"How would you spin that? People would be like what the f***? Like she’s a woman and she’s multiracial."
When pressed about Biden suffering from what O’Keefe described as "dementia", Kraiger said: "He’s definitely slowing down".

The analyst also goes into detail about an interaction with then-first lady Michelle Obama while he was an intern at the White House in 2011.
He said: "I had a meeting with Michelle Obama when I was an intern and someone asked her ‘Will you ever run for office?’ And she said, ‘no’ empathically".
"She was like, ‘I've seen all this s*** my husband has had to go through and that does not interest me'."
The end of the video report shows the moment when O’Keefe took off his glasses and revealed his identity.
