The Biden team is facing a tough challenge as they try to manage Joe Biden’s public appearances. They have tried various tactics like new shoes and shorter stairs to help him, but it’s not enough to hide all the issues. Now, they are planning to reduce his speaking time.

Some say that “less is more” and they want Biden to focus on quality over quantity when it comes to his speeches. This strategy aims to highlight the most compelling reasons for his re-election in shorter, sharper remarks.
However, it’s concerning that Biden’s team is resorting to limiting his speaking time to avoid potential mistakes in a close election. Biden has been known for his verbal missteps, especially when he goes off-script or answers unexpected questions.
While speaking in smaller venues may suit Biden better, it also raises questions about his ability to handle formal speeches without a script. Critics point out that his struggles go beyond just holding voters’ attention – many doubt his understanding of important issues.
Despite efforts to keep Biden’s speeches brief, he has been known to stray from prepared remarks, leading to awkward moments and false claims. This raises doubts about his ability to stay on track and deliver coherent messages.
The decision to reduce Biden’s speaking time may be a strategic move, but it also highlights concerns about his performance in high-pressure situations like debates or crises that require more than just short speeches. Voters deserve a candidate who can communicate effectively and address challenges with clarity and confidence.
