Biden Cheat Sheet Reveals His Prior Knowledge of Reporter's Question

According to a report by The Daily Mail UK, some critics accuse Biden of avoiding rigorous questioning from journalists since he sat on the throne of the White House in January 2021. The recent revelation, which shows a cheat card of a correspondent's question, might further add to the existing criticism towards the POTUS.

The New York Post reports that the President recently spoke alongside the South Korean President, Yoon Suk Yeol. The two top leaders talked about issues amid the threats from the nuclear weaponry of North Korea.

During the joint press conference, Biden was seen holding a note card for "Reporter Q&A." It included the pre-approved name of the journalist, as well as the topics that they would ask during the conference. Daily Mail says it seems that the cards were put together by the President of the United States assistants.

To be more precise, the cheat sheet featured a photo of the journalist asking the question. It also disclosed that the query came from the Los Angeles Times White House correspondent, Courtney Subramanian, which also includes the pronunciation of her surname. It also states that she will be asking the first question.

The question from the LA Times journalist Subramanian asked the POTUS about semiconductors manufacturing and foreign policy. With the cheat sheet in hand, it looks like Biden has prepared his answer. It asks, "How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities - like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing - with alliance-based foreign policy?"

The New York Post notes that some Republicans have long blasted the President for these kinds of note cards with some questioning his cognitive strength given his old age. However, the physician of Biden has made it clear that the 80-year-old leader is still in good health.

President Biden Addresses Age Concerns

In the same joint press conference with the South Korean President, Biden addressed concerns regarding his age. As the POTUS formally confirmed his bid to take on his second term in the White House, some are worried that he might be too old for the job.

Given that, no less than Biden himself has addressed the issue. According to USA Today, the US President says that the people of America can make their own decision come the 2024 Presidential Elections. He notes that they are "going to judge whether or not I have it or [do not] have it."
