As someone who is nearing 70, I find there are differences from my younger self. Yes, there are times I have to search for words, or forget where my keys are 
but I don't think I have lost any mental acuity. And I have a lot more knowledge than when I was younger. I have also slowed down, not because I am physically impaired, but because I have become more patient and less edgy. I take a little more time to think things through. I don't fret when things are delayed.
All this is to say that in Biden. I don't see a man who has lost a step, I see a man acting his age. It is not the same way as a youthful, dynamic President like Obama, but it is no less effective in governing.
When I see Biden answering a question by pausing and speaking softly, I see a man being thoughtful and wanting to say exactly what he means.
As opposed to some demented buffoon who shouts bullshit.
This is not a man who has lost his sharpness. But the media only shows the rare times he stumbles. Go through this video and watch some of his answers.
