Concerns within the White House over President Biden's physical and mental fitness began early in his term, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
President Joe Biden removes his sunglasses as he walks to speak with reporters after returning to the White House in Washington, Sunday, May 28, 2023.
The Wall Street Journal on Thursday interviewed nearly 50 individuals familiar with "operations" to conceal or help the president's mental and physical state. Advisers of Biden reportedly realized during the first few months of his term that the "bruising presidential schedule" would need to be adjusted for the president, citing his fatigue and making mistakes.
At least one Cabinet member stopped asking for calls with Biden "because it was clear that such requests wouldn’t be welcome," a source told the Wall Street Journal. Cabinet members with particularly infrequent access to Biden reportedly included Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
