(DCWatchdog.com) – As if President Joe Biden hasn’t faced a sufficient number of embarrassments already, he has been exposed to be at odds with his staffers, insisting that they allow him to be himself, according to revelations by no other than leftist propaganda pillar The New York Times.
Biden is actively encouraging his team to allow more authentic expressions of his personality in the lead-up to the 2024 election, according to insights from staffers and associates shared with The Times, cited by The Daily Caller.
Amid concerns regarding his age, the president and his inner circle are contemplating a fresh approach that emphasizes more direct interactions with the public, the report reveals.
This strategy includes efforts to have Biden engage more outside of Washington, D.C., through personal interactions with voters and increased activity on social media platforms.
Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware expressed his support for this approach.
“I have been saying for several months to the campaign, ‘Please, let him be Joe Biden,’ and so have many others,” Coons stated.
In a revealing moment on social media in February, Biden responded to a clip of former President Donald Trump drawing parallels between himself and the late Russian opposition figure Aleksei Navalny.
Rob Flaherty, a senior advisor to Biden, highlighted to The NYT that the idea for Biden’s response originated from the president himself.
“That came from his brain,” Flaherty affirmed.
“He’s got more demands than I am sometimes prepared to keep up with,” he added, stressing that Biden frequently revises his tweets and improvises during video recordings.
The report points out that the initiative to present Biden in settings outside the capital aims primarily at fostering connections with the voters rather than addressing age-related concerns.
Yet, aides have indicated that the president plans to confront questions about his capability for the presidency.
The administration is increasingly seeking to position Biden directly before the American people, especially younger demographics, by arranging encounters with social media influencers at campaign events, The Times claims.
“We have always known that the most effective way to reach the American people is when they can hear President Biden make his case directly and authentically,” commented Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the White House.
