Details of the new book Wheels Secret Drama During the Joe Bidens campaign
The internal discussions took place on “putting” Joe Biden in a wheelchair during the 2024 campaign, but the advisors crushed the idea because the measure would be “politically unsustainable”, at least until after the elections. Thus says a new book, “the original sin: the decline of President Biden, his cover -up and his disastrous choice to work again.”
According to an axios summary on Tuesday adapted to the book, the Biden internal circle was alarmed by the physical decline of the headline, which had become evident in falls such as the one he experienced in the graduation of the Air Force Academy in 2023.
His own doctor, Kevin O’Connor, had warned that if Biden fell again, a wheelchair might be necessary, pointed out “original sin”, by axios. The book, in Alex Thompson’s co -authorship and Jake Tapper of CNN, leaves May 20.
The doctor faced Biden’s managers for the amount of “rest time” assigned at his time, and joked with them that “they were trying to kill him, while trying to keep him alive,” Axios wrote from an extract.
Concerns about a foot injury that slowly slow down in 2020 had become more serious concerns about their spinal degeneration as the 2024 campaign advanced. According to the book’s report, the president’s camp organized stubs from handrails during appearances, encouraged him to wear shoes more frequently and choreographed his movements to mitigate the setbacks.
Biden orthopedic problems had been public knowledge for some time. A 2021 article by the president’s doctor, published by the Biden administration, discussed the “rigid march” of Biden, which resulted in part of the foot injury and spinal arthritis.
Another book about the campaign, “Fight: Inside The Wildest Battle for the White House,” he previously revealed that the fluorescent tape was placed on a carpet served as “bread crumbs” so that Biden will continue to continue at a reception organized by the governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, last summer.
An unidentified Biden representative recognized the “physical changes” of Biden as he aged, but told Axios: “We are still waiting for someone, anyone, to point out where Joe Biden had to make a presidential decision or take a presidential speech in which he could not do his job due to the mental decrease. In fact, the evidence points to the opposite, he was a very effective president.”
But the tension on the president’s vigor extended beyond his mobility and mental acuity. His longevity also doubted. Harris’s assistants built a “death pool list” of judges that could swear if he died, according to “fight.”
Biden’s Doddering debate against Donald Trump finally led to his withdrawal from the presidential race and the support of Harris, who lost to Trump in the 2024 elections.
