According to an Axios report, Democratic donors are increasingly concerned over Biden’s reliance on his cheat-sheet notecards — some cards even tell Joe where to sit and which press members to call on.
From The New York Post:
President Biden has to rely on crib sheets not only at press conferences and summits, but also when talking to sympathetic crowds of his own supporters at private fundraisers, alarming some Democrats, sources familiar with his practices have claimed.
Biden, 81, who has long been known to use notecards — including some instructing him where to sit and what to do — at public events is now said to be turning to the written prompts at closed-door meetings with Democratic donors, reported Axios.
Biden’s fundraisers follow a familiar pattern: the president delivers introductory remarks with reporters — but not news cameras – present in the room.
A teleprompter is often used during that portion of the event — although there was none at the president’s fundraiser in San Francisco Wednesday, where when speaking off the cuff Biden labeled his warmongering Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB.”
Reporters are then led out of the room and Biden takes pre-screened questions from donors, relying heavily on his cheat-sheet notecards.
Can Joe handle an election season if casual events are already pushing him to his limits?
