In the privacy of Camp David, members of President Joe Biden's family have criticized his top aides for his poor debate showing on Thursday, Politico reports. Following Biden's widely publicized debate on Thursday with former President Donald Trump, the family retreated to the Maryland property for a pre-planned trip.
The family argued that the aides had not prepared him enough to go on the offensive. They thought Biden was forced to defend himself against Trump's accusations rather than speak of his plans for his second term and that he was too tired and unwell to put up a good show.
Biden's campaign spokesperson, Kevin Munoz, told Politico that the president 'maintains strong confidence' in his aides. Munoz stated: 'The aides who prepped the President have been with him for years, often decades, seeing him through victories and challenges.'
David Axelrod, an Obama-era White House senior advisor, said on CNN after the debate that there was a 'sense of shock' around Biden's debate performance, indicating increasing pressure for him to step aside.
