White House officials are reportedly trading blame over who is responsible for how President Joe Biden’s “aides” handled debate preparations.
People in Biden’s “entourage” Said Axios, “He over-prepared and relied on the small details, but all that mattered was grit and energy.”
“They prepared him for the wrong debate. He needed rest and they over-prepared him. It’s inexplicable,” the source added.
“It’s sad, but it makes me angry that smart people are lying to make this plan work,” said a former Biden administration official.
“It’s a disaster,” one former administration official said.
“DEFCON 1,” David Plouffe, an adviser to former President Obama, told Axios.
After spending two days in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Biden and his aides spent a full week at Camp David in Maryland preparing for the debate.

A former White House official told the outlet that firings would be necessary, but lamented that it probably wouldn’t happen because Biden rarely fires people.
“The debate performance was truly disappointing,” former White House communications director Kate Bedingfield told CNN.
The report ended up placing the blame on Biden, saying he was the one who wanted to debate Trump.
The report said Biden “sometimes doesn’t realize how old he looks,” but that he wanted to take on Trump.
The report cast doubt on whether Biden would be replaced by another candidate, saying, “The impression is that Joe Biden is the only person who can end the Biden campaign.”
