Naturally, part of the reason for this is that coworkers have complained that he appears older on his solitary walks, and that they also draw attention to his personal problems.
At the time, Axios wrote, “Some Biden advisors have told Axios they are concerned that recordings of Biden strolling and moving alone — especially over the grass — have exposed his age.”
Shortly after the study’s publication, video evidence appeared confirming that Biden was indeed using the well-planned election-year tactic.
In an addendum to this article, OANN reporter Monica Paige released a video showing Biden’s aides trying to keep him out of the public eye on Tuesday while he shuffled back to Marine One, noting more confirmation:
In response to the tweet, RNC Research noted that the presidential campaign visit to Delaware was his only scheduled engagement for the day.
Try watching this video from another incident to get a better picture of how it appears in person. The horde of assistants, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, completely obscures Biden from reporters’ view at several moments (beginning around halfway into the tape).
Of course, this strategy goes beyond merely hoping to hide Biden’s advanced age and health problems from voters. It is also all part of Team Biden’s infamous press-avoidance tactic, which has been in effect since the pandemic began. During Biden’s presidential campaign, his staff closely monitored his basement, tightly controlling and managing the proceedings, and cutting short “interviews” when Biden deviated from the script.
The “swarm” tactic, as some of my colleagues here have properly noted, has, however, simply made Biden’s issues worse, especially in light of the fact that those strolling behind him are younger and in better physical form than the President.

Additionally, Biden will not have managers around him as he enters and exits the stage during any presidential debates between him and Trump. Undoubtedly, the platform will conceal a portion of it; nevertheless, by then, the country’s viewers will have already witnessed the identical Biden mobility problems that we have been chronicling for years.
There is just no avoiding the fact that this is the way things are. But it is an insult to our brains that Biden and his team believe they can disguise it. I’m not sure if it works or not. It will take several months before we know.
