WSJ’s Annie Linskey on Biden’s Decline: ‘There Was a Hard Shell Around the President, and That Shell Just Got Thicker and Harder Over Time’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LINSKEY: "Yeah. The, um, way that the Biden White House functioned is, there was a hard shell around around the president, and that shell just got thicker and harder over time. Um, he was not speaking regularly with some key cabinet members, including his secretary of treasury, his secretary of defense. We found, um, and he was not always getting the information. He was not always getting his news clippings did not always include some of the negative stories. There was a big effort to make sure there were lots of positive stories about a particular event. So there was a limit to the information he was getting. And instead of meeting with some of these people, he was getting briefed by his staff. And the problem with that is you have a filter.”
