A new Biden campaign ad focused on the economy and infrastructure included a subtle claim about the president's mental fitness, calling him "sharp as a knife."

The Thursday ad, titled "Sharp," centered on Pennsylvania steelworker Jojo Burgess, who spent most of the 30-second video praising Biden over his handling of the economy and infrastructure, but briefly appeared to reference the president's mental acuity by using the same descriptor repeated by the administration and Democrats to defend his cognitive ability earlier this year.

“We have our jury,” said the judge at 4:35 p.m.
