Obama’s former colleague revealed why he kept silent on the decline in Biden’s health: ‘Wanted to win her …’
John Lavate, a former Obama speech writer and hosts of “Pod Save America”, has admitted that he raised concerns about Joe Biden’s health during the 2024 campaign as he wanted to win Biden again.Speaking on John Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast, Lavate said he was concerned about the physical and cognitive position of the President, but he chose not to publicly talk about it. “I remember that I want to talk about this as a huge liability. There is something to talk about it that can be away from biden, but I am not going so far to say that, ‘I think Joe Biden should leave. He is very old to become President,” said Lavate.He said, “A, because I did not know what was going on behind the curtain, but B, if the biden candidate is, I want him to win F -King.”Lavate admitted that he feared any criticism from the left would be used by Biden’s political enemies. He said, “This was a liability about being honest about the age of Biden, while knowing that if he is a nominated person, I want to be clear that I felt that I felt it is important to ensure that we did everything we could do to do it again,” he said.He further explained his reluctance: “We have taken out of the context of the words we are saying and suddenly Joe becomes a part of the case from the right side – who will use any person who will use anyone who criticizes Biden from the left as a weapon against him.”Biden’s health issue is attracting more attention, especially after the release of the original sin by CNN’s Jake Tupper and Exios’ Alex Thompson. The book claims that the White House deliberately tried to reduce concerns about Biden’s decline.On 26 April 2024, describing a meeting with Biden with co-scientist John Favaru and Dan Pafeer, Lavate has included himself into the original sin, in the original sin. According to the book, the three were left “deeply disturbed” after the meeting, allegedly finding Biden “gambling” and “inconsistent”.US President Donald Trump has also criticized Biden’s physical and mental decline. Last week, Biden, who is 82 years old, was detected prostate cancer. Doctors have described the form of cancer as ‘aggressive’.
