Not well enough to run a campaign against Trump, but totally fine to keep running the Great Satan.

Tbh, the administrative state kind of runs itself. The president sets a direction, but if the president just went poof and nobody replaced him, the offices under him have enough independence and competent (not to be conflated with moral or ethical) people in them that they'd just keep ticking right along.

After the debate, everyone in the administration was bragging about Biden being alert from 10am-4pm. It just shows that he's been minimally involved for years.

Yes. There haven't been any full cabinet meetings since last year, and Biden hasn't met with the House Democratic caucus since 2021.
