Damning Report Describes How Aides Shielded ‘Declining’ Biden From Scrutiny

Posted by Train Dude on Thu Dec 19 19:43:11 2024

Daily Beast 12/19:

"President Joe Biden’s inner circle kept his interactions short and tightly scripted, allowing his declining energy levels to remain under wraps.

He also held other top lawmakers and even his own pollsters at arms-length, according to a damning new report in the Wall Street Journal.

The former senator and vice president has long surrounded himself with a small group of loyal advisers who, thanks to their deep knowledge of both the president and of Washington, serve as particularly effective proxies.

When Biden was elected president in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, aides limited in-person meetings to minimize his risk of exposure to the virus. They also wanted to prevent the types of gaffes and other rhetorical missteps that have characterized his long political career.

But after the pandemic, the barriers that had been erected between the president, high-ranking officials and the public hardened instead of softening, sources told the Journal.

Many of the sources chalked up the restricted access to an especially powerful inner circle, rather than a deliberate attempt to hide any age-related decline.
