Staff Reports
President Biden displayed a troubling lack of independence and autonomy during his recent press conference, where he admitted to relying on a prepared list supplied by his staff for calling on reporters. This revelation raises serious concerns about who is truly running the White House and managing Biden’s interactions with the media.
In a moment that left many questioning his ability to lead, Biden clumsily disclosed, “I’ve been given a list of people to call on here,” before stumbling through his scripted remarks with the assistance of a teleprompter. The President’s reliance on this list not only reinforced the perception of staff manipulation but also highlighted his struggles with coherence and clarity.
Scripted … boring … and he was reading from note cards.

Throughout the press conference, Biden’s performance was marred by embarrassing blunders, including mistakenly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” These slip-ups reinforced the narrative that Biden’s cognitive faculties may not be as sharp as they need to be for the demanding role he holds.
Despite his staff’s best efforts to prepare him, Biden’s responses to questions came across as rehearsed and uninspiring, punctuated by long pauses and incomprehensible muttering. His evasive answers, such as blaming his workload on his staff and joking about facing criticism from his wife, did little to instill confidence in his leadership capabilities.
The President’s tardiness to the press conference, coupled with his reliance on a predetermined list and apparent struggles with communication, only further fueled speculation about his fitness for office. This display of ineptitude and dependence on handlers is a stark reminder of the concerns many Americans have about who is really pulling the strings in the Biden administration.
