Staffers for President Biden provide him instructions with large print and photos of venue interiors and his planned path of entry ahead of events the 81-year-old commander-in-chief attends, according to a report.
Documents obtained by Axios on Sunday show how staff help guide Biden – including his specific path to a podium – when he appears at functions. The report comes as the Democrat faces relentless questions about whether he is fit for the Oval Office after an awful debate performance last month against presumptive GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump.
“It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room,” a person who staffed a Biden event in the past 18 months told the outlet.
“I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements,” the unidentified staffer also said.
The White House sends event staffers a template to follow when getting their own guidance ready for the president as part of what’s known as “advance work,” according to Axios.
One template reportedly shows a large photo of the event space on each page with big text like “View from podium” and “View from audience.” Two pages also gave separate photos with “Walk to the podium” accompanying the pictures.
But a White House spokesperson downplayed the instructions, telling Axios that “high levels of detail and precision are critical to presidential advance work — regardless of who is president — and these are basic approaches that are used by any modern advance team, including the vice president’s office and agencies.”

If this is true, then these officials are, like, zombies.
Doesn’t seem to help much. I’m waiting for him to walk into a wall, or knock someone over, but he may have already done both.
Yeah, you make a good point. It’s like the kid in the class that got all the questions to a test-quiz and had the weekend to study....still failing on the test.
We are governed by a simpleton; I would ordinarily feel sorry for him but I have no sympathy whatsoever for this corrupt, mediocre man who has brought so much evil upon this country.
This is just stupid.
They are making a mockery of the office and we are the laughingstock of us all.
This is everything they falsely accused Reagan of, and somehow he managed to topple the Soviet Union.
Makes you hate the media even more, if that’s possible…
Even done when he goes to a private home for a fundraiser.
“Four more years pause”
It looks like Madame Tussauds is missing one of their models.
Oh really ? Then let's see the cards used by the other Presidents......
He’s beyond any help.
I asked my mother who just turned 90, lifelong hardcore liberal and refuses to talk politics with me (she loses every argument when she does) if she saw the debate and her thoughts. She said he needs to go, he’s incompetent and that “we” finally agree on something political.
Why is this news? Biden is senile. Who doesn’t know that?
The new norm with democrats.
Democrats are like the media on CNN and MSNBC. You totally ignore them if you’re really serious about matters.
I am quite sure our allies and enemies are totally disregarding this administration.
Can they pull the White Hut DR. License fo lying to the interested people of the patient. If the Dr lies about my father’s condition for any reason I believe I can sue for malpractice. Dr Jill is pushing for this malpractice to influence the FedGov and her own personal gains. Spit
My favorite is the handshake to nobody.
