“Biden held notes that were captured by an Associated Press photographer.”
______
AP captured it because the DNC wanted it published. It’s either a head fake or trial balloon.
Exactly.
The photo is fake or a plant. No seasoned politician is going to hold notes where a photo can be snapped like that. Even if they did, he wouldn't write a note to himself saying not to hold a grudge, that's stupid. Biden or any of his handlers would knife their mothers in the back for a few extra votes, he's not going to write some namby-pamby note like that to himself.
That picture is a trial balloon of some sort, it's designed to test reactions or elicit a reaction from someone. I'm not sure exactly what it's purpose is, but you can bet there is one.
