Ex-Biden Aide Acknowledges Campaign Misled Public on Age Concerns

Michael LaRosa admits Biden's team dismissed polling and downplayed fears about the former president's mental fitness during the 2024 campaign.

Michael LaRosa, a former Biden aide, described the campaign's efforts as 'gaslighting' the public about concerns over Joe Biden's age and mental acuity.
Polling consistently showed widespread voter concerns about Biden's ability to serve, with 70% of voters in mid-2024 saying he was 'too old' to be effective.
LaRosa revealed that campaign staff were 'scared to death' of allowing Biden to participate in unscripted interviews due to fears of gaffes or confusion.
The campaign reportedly denied and undermined critical polling data and journalism highlighting Biden's age-related challenges.
Biden ultimately withdrew from the 2024 race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, following a disastrous debate performance that amplified public skepticism.
