Politico raised eyebrows late Monday after publishing an article praising President Biden for a “largely suitcase-free” debut as commander-in-chief, despite the president’s extremely limited availability to the press.
The issue of Politico’s Transition Playbook, which describes itself as a ‘guide to the first 100 days of the Biden government’, questions whether the new president, who has a reputation as a ‘gaffe machine’, is a ‘has become a disciplined messenger. ”
“Two and a half months in, that’s undoubtedly the case,” Politico answered his own question. “The president has so far surprised some of his former colleagues and allies with a largely chaff-free debut in the White House after a lifetime of oral stumbling.”
As noted in the article itself, Biden has not held a formal press conference since taking office. On Wednesday, the seat on ABC’s Good Morning America will be only his second television interview as president.

“Biden’s availability of press is limited – both an attempt to synthesize the commission strategy and an implicit recognition that an extensive interview or press conference poses new risks,” Politico later acknowledged.
On Twitter, Politico attempted to summarize his latest entry in the playbook, writing: “Two and a half months later, President Biden surprised some of his former colleagues and allies with a largely chaff-free debut in the White House after a lifetime. of oral obstacles. “
Critics panned the assessment on social media.
“He’s had countless gaffes already!” Pradheep J. Shanker, a National Review contributor, responded. “Not to mention … thousands of children being thrown into cages. Although, to be honest, I think it’s not so much a fork as a debacle.”
