Campaign Aide: Biden Plans Aggressive Debate Approach

President Joe Biden plans to be very aggressive during the debate with former President Donald Trump, according to a Biden campaign official.

Biden’s most important task will be “to show that he is not diminished and is capable of carrying out presidential duties in a second term,” Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University, told the Financial Times on Friday.

“[Biden] needs to shake things up,” political analyst Charlie Cook said. “Debates usually don’t, but certainly could. There are not many known potential inflection points in presidential races, but debates are certainly a possibility.”

A whopping 67 percent of voters believe Biden is too old to serve a second term, Quinnipiac polling recently found.

The White House would neither confirm nor deny in May whether Biden intends to use performance-enhancing drugs in preparation for the presidential debates. Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff who is going on vacation to help Biden prepare for the debates, did not respond to Playbook’s request for comment about “whether any illegal substances are used as part of Klain’s debate prep.”
