Finger-pointing erupts among White House insiders over President Joe Biden’s lackluster debate performance, with blame swirling around his inner circle’s flawed prep strategy. According to reports, Biden’s team focused too much on details and not enough on projecting energy, leaving him ill-prepared for the debate.
Critics from within Biden’s orbit are quick to express their frustration, with some labeling the situation as a “disaster” and others lamenting the lack of accountability in the administration. Former Obama adviser David Plouffe even likened the situation to “DEFCON 1,” highlighting the severity of the issue.
They’re still in denial. Reports abound about infighting at the White House regarding debate preparation.
It’s not the debate prep… it’s the dementia.

Despite spending a week in intense debate prep at Camp David with his advisers, Biden’s performance fell flat, leading to widespread disappointment. Even his former White House Communications Director, Kate Bedingfield, publicly criticized his showing, calling it “really disappointing.”
The report ultimately places the blame squarely on Biden himself, suggesting that his desire to debate Trump and failure to project a more youthful image may have been key factors in his lackluster performance.
As the fallout unfolds, questions arise about the possibility of Biden being replaced by another candidate. However, the report indicates that the ultimate arbiter of Biden’s fate may be Biden himself, with doubts lingering about his ability to revitalize his campaign.
