Biden reportedly growing frustrated that aides ‘rush to explain’ his statements, worried he looks weak

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated with his staff in the White House and their efforts to “rush to explain” something the president has said.

“The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command,” NBC News reported Tuesday.

The White House has walked back several of the president’s statements, including when Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

“We don’t say anything that the president doesn’t want us to say,” an official reportedly told the outlet in response to a question about clearing up the president’s statements.

The White House has walked back and clarified a few statements the president has made, in addition to the one about Putin.

Other Democrats are frustrated as well, according to NBC. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., said that the White House has not been able to introduce an “intellectually honest” inflation plan.

Biden also feels that he isn’t getting credit where credit is due from the media or Americans with regard to the economy, NBC reported.
