Biden says he won't go to events after 8 p.m. because he needs more sleep.
In a meeting with Democratic governors, Biden said he needed more sleep and a lighter workload, especially in terms of avoiding late-night activities. He also admitted that he was pushing himself too hard and disobeying schedule guidelines.
Biden's admission at the Democratic governors' meeting: Performance problems stem from his frequent overseas travel
resolute to continue competing despite doubts about mental clarity
US President Joe Biden admitted to being tired in front of a group of Democratic governors, saying he needed to sleep more and work fewer hours, which included scheduling no later than 8 p.m.
The New York Times reports that the disclosure was made at a meeting intended to reassure more than two dozen significant supporters of his ongoing dedication to his position and his preparedness to wage a fierce campaign against Republican opponent Donald Trump.
The 81-year-old President's comments regarding his need for more sleep suggested that he was conscious of growing apprehensions about his increasingly regular and conspicuous stumbles in the past several months. His faltering performance at last month’s presidential debate was roundly panned by critics and triggered panic among Democrats.
During his discussion with governors, some of whom were physically present at the White House and others who joined digitally, Biden expressed his determination to remain in the presidential race in spite of these worries.
Citing sources, the story said that Biden blamed his recent performance problems on his lengthy overseas travels before the debate, which his allies and the White House have also pointed to as the cause of his halting performance.
At first, the President's campaign blamed a cold. However, he later admitted to overscheduling and pushing himself too hard. He claimed he needed more sleep and a lighter workload, especially to avoid late-night activities.
