Staff Reports
In an attempt to salvage his tarnished image, Joe Biden has resorted to deploying his lackeys to speak on his behalf and cozying up to sympathetic media outlets for interviews.
Following a meeting with Democratic governors Tim Walz, Kathy Hochul, and Wes Moore, Biden faced backlash for the notable absence of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Speculation is rife that Newsom and Whitmer are being considered as possible replacements for Biden, adding fuel to the fire of uncertainty surrounding his presidency. Moreover, conflicting reports emerged regarding Biden’s alleged post-debate medical check-up, with the White House denying any such examination took place, further deepening the mistrust in Biden’s credibility.

To bolster his image, Biden has lined up interviews with friendly faces like ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Wisconsin radio host Earl Ingram. In a recent radio interview, Biden admitted to a lackluster debate performance, attributing it to a momentary lapse. However, his attempts to deflect attention by touting his past achievements fell flat, with critics pointing out the disastrous consequences of his policies, foreign policy failures, and skyrocketing inflation rates under his administration.
Furthermore, Biden’s attempt to paint former President Donald Trump as racially insensitive backfired, as his own history of questionable remarks and actions towards the black community came under scrutiny. From condescending remarks about Barack Obama to patronizing comments about black families, Biden’s track record on race relations leaves much to be desired. His audacious claim to represent the interests of black Americans falls flat when compared to Trump’s pro-growth, pro-opportunity policies that resonated with Americans of all backgrounds.
As Biden scrambles to salvage his faltering presidency, his reliance on spin and sympathetic interviews may only serve to reinforce the growing perception of incompetence and deceit among the American public.
