Biden team scripted Cabinet meetings, used multiples cameras to cover flubs: Book

  • A recently released book by journalists from CNN and Axios exposes how President Biden’s team scripted Cabinet meetings and employed multiple cameras in 2024 to carefully manage his public appearance.
  • The authors explain that these measures arose from concerns about Biden's cognitive decline, increased dependence on teleprompters and notes, and attempts to conceal these issues internally.
  • Cabinet members reported meetings were heavily scripted, with staff preparing questions in advance and Biden often appearing disoriented or absent during sessions.
  • One Cabinet secretary described the meetings as "terrible" and recalled Biden appearing with his mouth open in a dazed state, while staff employed a technique involving multiple cameras to minimize the visual disruption caused by jump cuts.
  • The book indicates Cabinet members knew about Biden's condition and that staff efforts intended to shield him from scrutiny during his 2024 re-election campaign.
