Joe Biden’s advisors satisfied the getting older president to carry an early debate with Donald Trump in summer time 2024 by insisting it will permit him to succeed in the “widest audience possible,” a leaked memo reveals.
The six-page memo dated April 15, 2024 — simply two months earlier than the horrific debate that tanked Biden’s presidential bid — bizarrely capitalizes and bolds any references to the previous commander-in-chief.
“By holding the first debate in the spring, YOU will be able to reach the widest audience possible, before we are deep in the summer months with the conventions, Olympics and family vacations taking precedence,” the memo from Biden’s high aides obtained by Politico reads.
“In addition, the earlier YOU are able to debate the better, so that the American people can see YOU standing next to Trump and showing the strength of YOUR leadership, compared to Trump’s weakness and chaos,” the memo continues.
Biden’s doddery and frail efficiency on the CNN debate on June 27 final 12 months was so disastrous that it put in movement his stepping down forward of the DNC in Chicago.
The memo, obtained by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, options of their new ebook “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” which comes out on Tuesday.
