Biden Aide Says President Was 'Fatigued, Befuddled' Before Trump Debate: New Book
HuffPost
Ron Klain reportedly thought the 81-year-old president was "out of touch with American politics" and “enraptured” with being head of NATO.
Ron Klain, Joe Biden’s former White House chief of staff, reportedly believed the ex-president was “out of it” ahead of his disastrous presidential debate with Donald Trump.
According to a new book, Klain, who returned to Biden’s side to help prepare for last June’s debate, found the president to be “fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged,” and questioned whether the Democratic nominee believed he was in charge of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Klain gives his eyebrow-raising account of the Camp David debate prep to reporter Chris Whipple in the latest damning reporting on Biden’s cognitive and physical decline ahead of the pivotal clash with Trump, which saw the then-81-year-old withdraw his candidacy and hand over the reins to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” will be published next week.
Per the book, excerpts of which have been reported by The Guardian, Klain had “never seen [Biden] so exhausted and out of it” when they met at the president’s cabin.
