CNN anchor Jake Tapper beat back questions about what he knew about former President Biden’s mental acuity before the 2024 election ahead of the release of his new book about the former president’s decline.

Jake Tapper says he feels ‘humility’ about his coverage, but he’s still defending how he handled questions about President Biden’s age.

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book has already generated a national debate about whether the White House deceived the public about the president’s cognitive state and how Biden’s late exit from the race undermined the Democratic Party’s chances of stopping Trump.
