Encircling himself with more than a dozen advisors, President Joe Biden is trying to be ready for his debate with Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported that, as part of his extensive preparations at Camp David, the Democrat had recruited at least sixteen current and former staffers.
Former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and his personal lawyer Bob Bauer are some of the people Biden is reaching out to. In fictitious arguments, they’re all portraying Donald Trump.
Officials close to Biden allegedly think the Democrat can capitalize on immigration and abortion. Additionally, he believes he can persuade Americans that the economy is improving.

Jean-Pierre may have his arguments, but new polling indicates that most Americans do not agree with Biden’s optimistic assessment of the economy. On average, 57% of Americans are unhappy with how he handled the situation.
