By The FirstJoe Biden’s inner circle is reportedly urging the Commander-in-Chief to walk shorter distances on camera and wear special shoes to reduce the risk of falling.
The aging President turns 81 years old today.
From Fox News:
People close to President Biden have reportedly pushed for him to replace formal shoes with more comfortable ones, as well as walk shorter distances on camera, as some Democrats question the Biden campaign’s plan to deal with the president’s age.
“People close to the president have discussed having him walk shorter distances while on camera. They’ve also advocated, at times, trading in formal shoes for more comfortable ones — both to make his stride seem less stiff, but also to reduce the risk of falls,” Politico reported.
Democratic strategists and donors are reportedly frustrated over the Biden campaign’s handling of the age issue. Some have suggested they haven’t done enough to calm the concerns with the public; Biden turned 81 on Monday and is the oldest U.S. president in history.
“Many donors are directly urging top campaign aides to go on offense, leaning even harder into Biden’s age as proof of his wisdom in turbulent times. They are pushing for more humor about ‘Grandpa Joe,’” Politico reported.
