The upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson unveils startling insights into President Joe Biden's decline. Senior aides reportedly attempted to hide Biden's deteriorating condition from his staff, employing strategies such as restricting important meetings to specific hours and managing the length of his speeches. Criticism surfaced from within the Democratic Party, notably from Kamala Harris's aide, who blamed Biden for the campaign struggles. As Biden navigated public appearances, Barack Obama frequently intervened to support him. These revelations raise concerns regarding Biden's fitness for a second term.
We attempted to shield him from his own staff so many people didn't realize the extent of the decline beginning in 2023. Among the techniques used by top aides were: limiting urgent business to hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., instructing writers to keep Biden's speeches brief, and having him use the short stairs to Air Force One.
We got so screwed by Biden, as a party, Plouffe said. Plouffe added that the truncated campaign was a fucking nightmare and he put the blame squarely on one man. It's all Biden, Plouffe said. He totally fucked us.
One unnamed aide told Tapper and Thompson, I love Joe Biden, but it was a disservice to the country and to the party for his family and advisers to allow him to run again.
The Obama rescue incidents highlighted the challenges Biden faced, with the former president often stepping in to help guide him during public appearances, especially at major events.
