I wonder how many more leaks will come out this week.
Axios reported that White House staffers prepare a document for President Joe Biden for events, detailing every single move.
The documents include pictures showing the “precise path to a podium.”
Before the awful debate, those outside the White House who attended or helped at the events thought the administration had “a meticulous staff.”
One person said: “I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements.”
The event staffers receive documents close to the ones given to the president:
- One template — a copy of which was obtained by Axios — is short and simple, with one large picture of the event space on each page, accompanied with big text such as: “View from podium,” and “View from audience.”
- In the five-page document, two pages are separate pictures of, “Walk to podium.”
Those close to Biden when he served as vice president said they never had to go this far with preparations:
The staffer who helped with the fundraiser told Axios: “It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room.”
- A White House official told Axios: “If individuals are not accustomed to seeing advance teams work, that would be a common reaction, whoever the principal is.”
- Two former aides who worked with Biden during his vice presidency said that at that time his preparation documents were different, and more often relied on site diagrams.
However, no one monitors the vice president’s every single step.
YET, Vice President Kamala Harris’s spokeswoman Kirsten Allen said: “These documents are standard logistical briefing materials and photos for any principal, including the vice president.”
Hhhmmm….interesting.
