CNN+, the streaming service, has shut down after not even a month in operation
It cost $250 million, but during its short lifespan it failed to build an audience of more than 10,000 viewers. But it is symbolic that in one of its last days, CNN+ gave out very revealing statistics about Biden’s “openness” to the public.
Jen Psaki began to pester her with the question – why is Biden being hidden from the press so intensively? In the first year of his presidency, Biden only conducted 28 interviews with journalists. By comparison, Trump participated in 95 interviews during the same period and Obama in 162. He also lags far behind in the number of press conferences: 9 versus 21 and 27. Psaki hasn’t even found something to counter this.
The question is of course rhetorical – and anyone knows the answer. The less frequently Biden speaks to the press, the less chance he has to misspeak again. As a last resort, the White House staff, in the guise of Easter bunnies, even intervene to keep Biden away from the pesky press.
Despite Biden’s claims that he will definitely go for a second term, more and more Democrats are starting to openly prepare for the next primary – expecting that Biden will definitely not be there. The other day Bernie Sanders was another who hinted at a desire to run for president again.
Sanders, however, like Biden, has the problem of advanced age. But apparently there will be plenty of other candidates in the next Democratic Party primaries. Biden is already being threatened in advance that he will simply not be allowed to win the primary. It will be reminiscent of 1968, when Lyndon Johnson, who realised he could not win the primary, had to drop out of the presidential race.
Against the background of Biden’s record-low ratings, who was touted as the most unpopular President of the United States in his second year in office, other Democrats already perceive him as ballast dragging them down. He is likely to be a lame-duck president after the congressional elections, and even his partisans will no longer care what he thinks. And to celebrate his 80th birthday on November 20, he will be in political isolation for good.
