Following Joe Biden’s disappointing debate performance against Donald Trump, tensions have reportedly surfaced between Biden’s family and his staff. According to NBC, members of Biden’s close circle are dissatisfied with what they perceive as repeated blunders by key staff members, particularly in their preparation of the president for the debate. A source indicated that the family views the debate as a critical moment where staff failures became apparent, leading to internal strife.
The source highlighted a sense of frustration within the Biden family, noting that blame for the debate’s outcome was redirected towards Biden himself by some staff members, which exacerbated tensions. This sentiment was reportedly exacerbated by what was perceived as a lack of accountability from the staff, further straining relations.
Despite these internal rifts, Biden received support from his family, including visits from his sister Valerie Owens and son Hunter Biden, accompanied by his wife Melissa Cohen. This familial support has been viewed as crucial amidst the perceived shortcomings of Biden’s campaign team.
In response to these reports, a White House official has dismissed claims of significant discord between Biden’s family and his staff, suggesting a unified front despite internal challenges. Meanwhile, Biden remains steadfast in his determination to continue in the presidential race, with plans to participate in a second debate against Donald Trump.
The situation underscores the complexities and pressures facing Biden’s campaign, balancing internal dynamics and external scrutiny as the election cycle progresses.
