Report Details How White House Tried to Keep Biden Appearing Young, Vibrant

President 👤Joe Biden wasn’t even president yet when his team maneuvered ways to make the 77-year-old politician seem younger than his age, per a report.

And it appears this has been a task that has hounded his team since.

For instance, according to a report on The Wall Street Journal, members of 👤Jill Biden’s team were warned not to talk her up too much. Especially given she is eight years younger than him and had more clarity.

“The more you talk her up, the more you make him look bad,” Michael LaRosa LaRosa, her press secretary at the time, said.

This was just one act in keeping up an apparent charade, the outlet reported.

As the years progressed, members of the Biden administration urged visitors to keep meetings on task.

This also meant limiting Biden’s interactions with important officials such as Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Biden was also isolated in crucial moments — such as ahead of the U.S.’s pullout from Afghanistan — when lawmakers wanted a word with him.

Press aides were also told to keep anything negative regarding Biden away from their press kits.

As the race for the White House heated up in 2024, polls showed Biden trailing as he continually didn’t talk to his own pollsters.
