- When Joe Biden ran for president in 2020, he hardly left his basement. As then-President Donald Trump crisscrossed the country in those final months of the campaign, Biden held tiny events in backyards with a couple of dozen socially distanced supporters, then called it a day.
- The move worked. Hidin’ Biden was able to conceal his deteriorating mental acuity (and trust me, that’s real — I’ve covered Biden since the early 1990s, and he was sharp as a tack back then).
- Once in the White House, Biden has continued to hide — despite a pledge to “bring transparency and truth back to the government,” Biden has held the fewest press conferences since Ronald Reagan and just half as many as his predecessor.
