While Joe Biden scrambles to prove he’s a president worthy—and physically capable—of another four years, his top adviser told White House staffers Wednesday to tune out the “noise” and focus on governing.
That’s according to multiple reports that cited people who attended an “all-staff call” held by Jeff Zients, the president’s chief of staff.
Staffers on the call told the Associated Press the meeting, which Biden didn’t personally attend, had the vibe of a “pep talk.” Zients reportedly stressed the stakes of the election and re-iterated that Biden, 81, plans to win and serve another four year term despite Thursday’s debate debacle.
