White House insiders have painted a concerning picture of President Joe Biden's daily operations, describing a leader who increasingly requires physical assistance and whose schedule has been quietly restructured to accommodate his limitations, according to a bombshell Wall Street Journal report.
Senior staff members have reportedly been instructed to drastically limit the President's interactions, cutting back on meetings with cabinet members - including key figures like the Secretary of Defense and Treasury Secretary. Even Biden's daily schedule has shifted, with later start times becoming the norm.
Perhaps most strikingly, officials close to the President describe regularly providing physical support to prevent falls and assist with mobility. "Hand-holding isn't just a figure of speech anymore," one insider told the Journal, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
The White House has responded to previous questions about Biden's age and health by pointing to his legislative achievements and maintaining a rigorous travel schedule. However, this latest report suggests his inner circle has been quietly implementing significant accommodations behind the scenes.
