According to a Politico report, the Biden family met at Camp David over the weekend to discuss the best way to move forward after President Biden’s humiliating debate performance last Thursday night. Those closest to Biden blame top aides for the POTUS’ performance, with some suggesting that heads should roll.
From Politico:
Among the family’s complaints about the debate practice: that Biden was not prepared to pivot more to go on the attack; that he was bogged down too much on defending his record rather than outlining a vision for a second term; and that he was over-worked and not well-rested.
The blame was cast widely on staffers, including: Anita Dunn, the senior adviser who frequently has the president’s ear; her husband, Bob Bauer, the president’s attorney who played Trump in rehearsals at Camp David; and Ron Klain, the former chief of staff who ran point on the debate prep and previous cycles’ sessions.
“The aides who prepped the President have been with him for years, often decades, seeing him through victories and challenges. He maintains strong confidence in them,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement.
A senior Biden aide also pushed back, saying it was “not true” that frustration was directed at Dunn, Bauer and Klain.
Team Biden has tried to pin Joe’s debate performance on being sick, being overprepared, and the CNN moderators for not interrupting and fake-checking in real-time.
Anything but Biden’s obvious cognitive decline.

Wow.
Now Biden family members–feral dogs–want the scalps of longtime top Biden advisers Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer, and even Ron Klain.
