ust days after President Joe Biden announced his 2024 re-election campaign, the 80-year-old's advisors are weary that he is mentally and physically up for the job — something he can barely do now.
According to an Axios report, Biden's close advisors are panicking that he won't be able to keep up with the particular demands of being president for another four years. The report pointed out that he already finds it "difficult" to hold events during the mornings, nights, and weekends.
Looking closely, Biden usually holds speaking events during the week between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Even the president's first White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, acknowledged this, saying, "President Biden does nothing at 9 a.m."
Once, he held remarks at 9:15 a.m. regarding the Silicon Valley Bank crisis, which Psaki noted that must have been a high priority since he rarely does anything
that early.
"Many White House officials say they're amazed at Biden's stamina, often adding the caveat: 'for his age,'" Axios noted.
The report also revealed a rough schedule of Biden's daily activities, including a whole lot of nothing mixed with a few dinners.
So far in 2023, Biden has only hosted four public events before 10 a.m., just a couple of dinners and receptions with foreign leaders or fundraisers after 6 p.m., and a mere 12 weekendswith no public events.
On the contrary, former President
Trump spent most of his days in office holding meetings that usually started with a 6 a.m. wake-up call.
By the 2018 midterm elections, Trump had spent about 297 hours in Executive Time and often started his day early and ended it late. He also had roughly 77 hours scheduled for meetings, including policy planning, legislative strategy, and video recordings.
Biden's diminishing energy levels are no shocking discussion. The president has struggled through almost all of his speaking engagements, often needing to be whisked off stage when reporters ask too many questions, fearing he may reveal more than the Democrats allow him to.
