Maybe mental deterioration aggravates incipient stutters. But that's still mental deterioration.
Quote:It’s also true that many voters think the president’s age is an issue. But there’s perception and there’s reality: As anyone who has recently spent time with Biden (and I have) can tell you, he is in full possession of his faculties — completely lucid and with excellent grasp of detail. Of course, most voters don’t get to see him up close, and it’s on Biden’s team to address that. And yes, he speaks quietly and a bit slowly, although this is in part because of his lifetime struggle with stuttering. He also, by the way, has a sense of humor, which I think is important.

The New York Times is mostly a government mouthpiece. Krugman is not someone I consider impartial.
He may be correct, but he's not disinterested, and considering we've already had several cases of high-level people blatantly lying to support Biden, I'd take this opinion piece with a large grain of salt.
