Top Aide Reveals Biden Was ‘Out of It’ Before Trump Debate

  • Before his June 2024 debate with Donald Trump, former President Joe Biden appeared notably tired, confused, and disconnected, as described by his former chief of staff Ron Klain.
  • Klain and other aides described Biden's condition as exhaustion and irritability, which they attributed to his sidelining by senior staff who isolated him from key campaign issues.
  • Biden’s debate prep sessions were shorter than planned, and he ended the second practice debate early, citing fatigue and concerns about straining his voice.
  • The president focused primarily on his infrastructure initiatives and plans to create millions of jobs but did not address his priorities for a potential second term, raising questions about his preparedness.
  • Klain later clarified his remarks, emphasizing that Biden’s mental capacity was not in question and argued that the poor debate performance reflected staff failures rather than Biden’s ability to govern.
