Recent reports have detailed Biden’s struggles with the teleprompter and have fueled concerns about his cognitive abilities. Some see the decision to limit his public speaking as a precaution against potential gaffes and senior moments, particularly as the campaign schedule is expected to become more demanding.
Critics point to Biden’s previous mishaps with handling classified documents, as well as the administration’s lack of notable domestic achievements that directly benefit working Americans. They argue that the need to rely on former President Obama’s accomplishments to energize supporters may indicate a lack of substantial achievements by the current administration.
The President’s team, however, has emphasized that the shift to shorter speeches is part of a broader strategy to refine and sharpen Biden’s message as he approaches the general election. They believe that focusing on the most compelling arguments for his re-election and delivering them in a concise and dynamic manner will resonate with voters.
Additionally, the campaign intends to have Biden engage in smaller, more intimate settings, as opposed to larger traditional rallies, as they believe this approach better suits the President. Overall, the decision to curtail Biden’s public appearances reflects a strategic effort to mitigate the risk of verbal missteps and to present a more polished and focused message to potential voters.
