Biden Advisors Panic About His Age, Says It’s “Difficult” For Him To Hold Events In Mornings, Nights & Weekends
Advisors to Biden are reportedly becoming increasingly worried about his ability to keep up with the rigorous demands of his role, with concerns being raised over his age and energy levels. According to sources close to the administration, Biden’s advisors are panicking over the fact that he finds it “difficult” to hold events during the mornings, nights, and weekends.
The 80-year-old president has long been a subject of speculation and scrutiny regarding his age and fitness for office, with many critics questioning whether he has the stamina to keep up with the demands of his job, as it appears that even his own team is worried about his ability to keep up with the pace.
The concerns over Biden’s age and fitness come at a critical time for the administration, as the president faces mounting pressure over a range of issues, including the ongoing crisis at the southern border, rising inflation, and the an upcoming re-election bid. Not to mention the risk of nuclear war “steadily increasing” as tensions between the US and Russia escalate.

Behind the scenes: Biden’s close advisers say he’s mentally sharp. But even some of them concede his age has diminished his energy, significantly limiting his schedule.

Many White House officials say they’re amazed at Biden’s stamina — often adding the caveat: “for his age.”

Some White House officials say it’s difficult to schedule public or private events with the president in the morning, in the evening, or on weekends: The vast majority of Biden’s public events happen on weekdays, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
A month ago, former White House Secretary, Jen Psaki, commented on Biden’s speech on the Silicon Valley banking crisis, stating that it is unusual for the president to make an announcement at 9 AM, alluding to the fact that he typically does not do anything at that time.
Psaki on Biden’s economy remarks that he did earlier today: “President Biden does nothing at 9 AM … The fact that he’s doing this at 9 AM anyway speaks to how vital the White House recognizes it is for him to have his voice out there…”

Critics of the Biden administration have argued that the concerns over the president’s age and energy levels are further evidence that he is not up to the task of leading the country. They point to his frequent gaffes and lapses in memory as evidence that he is not fit for office. Just yesterday during the White House event: ‘bring your kid to work day,’ Biden struggled to remember where one of his grandchildren lives, only for a young girl to fact-check him.
Despite the mounting concerns, Biden and his team have remained defiant, insisting that the president is more than capable of handling the demands of his job. They argue that the president’s decades of experience in public service make him uniquely qualified for the role, and they are confident that he will rise to the challenge.
Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the concerns over his age and fitness are not going away anytime soon. As the president continues to grapple with the myriad challenges facing the nation, the pressure will only continue to mount, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to keep up.
