Biden 2024: People Sometimes ‘Forget Sh*t’
Joe Biden,White House,Politics,Democratic Party,Media Industry
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is looking to remind the American people that sometimes people “forget s**t” after a special counsel report continuously made references to the president’s failing memory, one staffer told Politico Playbook.
Special counsel Robert Hur released a report into Biden’s handling of classified documents Thursday though he chose not to pursue any criminal charges. During an interview with the counsel, Biden forgot when his vice presidency began and ended as well as the time when his late son, Beau Biden, died, the report showed. Following the report, one Biden campaign official told Politico Playbook that the president’s age is not going to disappear from the campaign trail.
“The fact that he’s a senior citizen is not going to go away,” a Biden campaign official told Playbook. “What I’ve said to my colleagues is that we all have to remind the American people that sometimes we forget s**t.”
