Jen Psaki defends prep team after family reportedly blames staff for debate performance: 'Biden was bad'
Fox News
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday defended President Biden’s presidential debate prep team, calling it "absurd" that they are to blame Biden's performance.
"There are a lot of important discussions and debates about this political moment we are in and the path forward, but the notion that the issue at the debate was the prep process done by people like @RonaldKlain and Anita Dunn who have successfully prepped many candidates including Obama, Clinton and Biden is absurd," Psaki wrote on X. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
She went on to say, "It was a bad debate. I have no doubt they were tough, strategic and direct. (Believe me I have seen them in action) but prep does not always determine the outcome. Biden was bad. Important convos about what happens next. But if you are directing your ire at ‘prep’ you are not talking about the right things." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
