The Trump campaign released a video on Tuesday targeting former Vice President Joe Biden for the many gaffes he has made ahead of the 2020 elections.

As the Hill notes, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted out the video on Tuesday morning musing, “You just wonder…”

The video, which shows cuts of Biden’s slip-ups—including when he mixed up what state he was in, and when he referred to Sens. Cory Booker (D-NY) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as president in separate debates—also features news anchors commenting on Biden’s performance, highlighting feedback like “unsteady” and “shaky.”

The video includes a statement from Booker, who said during a previous interview, “There are definitely moments when you listen to Joe Biden and you just wonder…”

Booker’s words were ultimately turned into the video’s catch point. The video concludes with Biden seated in a crowd, his eyes closed as he presumably dozes off.

As the Hill notes, Trump isn’t the only one who has raised questions about Biden’s ability to run in the presidential race, with 2020 rival Julián Castro facing backlash after he took a swipe at Biden during the last Democratic debate.

“Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?” Castro asked, challenging Biden over an explanation he gave about his healthcare plan. “Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago? I mean, I can’t believe that you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in and now you’re saying they don’t have to buy in. You’re forgetting that.”

Castro insisted afterward that the comment was not about Biden’s age.

Nonetheless, Biden is still topping the polls of Democratic candidates, how and if that will change is still yet to be seen.
