In a new book, it is revealed that Joe Biden prioritized a photoshoot with Annie Leibovitz over an important meeting with the congressional Progressive caucus, signaling his detachment from crucial party endorsements. Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff, urged him to engage more actively with progressives following a disastrous debate that raised concerns about his fitness for the presidency. Klain noted that growing tensions within the Democratic party stemmed not only from Biden's performance but also from donor desires for a more business-friendly leader, indicating an ongoing struggle for power in the party.
Biden’s decision to prioritize a Camp David photoshoot instead of meeting with the Progressive caucus highlighted a significant disconnect during a critical political moment.
Klain expressed alarm over Biden’s physical and mental decline during debate preparations, suggesting it was symptomatic of a broader struggle over power within the Democratic party.
