The Wall Street Journal published a story this week exposing how President Biden’s top aides have worked together to protect him from the press and hide signs of his mental decline.
The piece is titled How Biden’s Inner Circle Worked to Keep Signs of Aging Under Wraps.
From The Wall Street Journal:
People close to Biden blame a handful of advisers for putting in place a strategy that minimized the president’s age-related struggles. Those advisers include the president’s big-picture thinkers: Anita Dunn, who is responsible for the White House’s communications strategy and echoes the president’s disdain for the news media; along with Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon, decadeslong political counselors.
Biden allies outside the White House also pointed to lesser-known aides who have served as gatekeepers for the president, including Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal, close confidants of Biden and first lady Jill Biden, respectively. The White House didn’t make Tomasini, Bernal, Dunn, Ricchetti or Donilon available for comment.
This account is based on interviews, before and after the debate, with more than two dozen current and former Biden administration officials, as well as Democratic lawmakers, major campaign donors and Democratic strategists, along with a Wall Street Journal analysis of visitor logs.
…
The president’s public appearances and his private interactions, according to people who described them, suggest that Biden has moments where he is sharp and detail-oriented. At other times, he is forgetful, stumbles over words and struggles to convey his thoughts. Those kinds of slip-ups have become more frequent, according to people who have met with the president, with many widely shared on social media.
