On June 27, President Joe Biden participated in a presidential debate, but many people were worried about how he performed. Some questions arose about his age, health, and ability to lead the country. A recent report indicates that White House staff have been trying to hide signs of Biden’s mental decline since he became president.
Biden has held fewer large press conferences compared to other presidents, and he often makes mistakes while speaking. According to the report, his aides have been rearranging his schedule to help him manage his energy levels. After he was inaugurated during the COVID-19 pandemic, his team quickly started limiting his in-person meetings, especially when he seemed tired or confused. They found that the best time for meetings was earlier in the day because Biden had trouble focusing later.
Biden relied on notecards and often made mistakes, like confusing the names of world leaders or forgetting important facts. One shocking detail is that he even forgot the year his son Beau passed away. To help with Biden’s speaking issues, the White House hired a voice coach to improve his faint voice. They also hid negative news about him to keep his spirits up since his approval ratings hit a record low in 2024.
Additionally, there was concern that First Lady Jill Biden might outshine her husband. She was advised not to promote herself too much to avoid making Biden look bad. During his presidency, Jill Biden tried to make sure he didn’t spend too long answering questions at press conferences, fearing he might get caught off guard.
