The reports will strengthen a growing sense that Jill Biden is putting her own interests above that of her humiliated and failing husband. As one Democratic advisor told the New York Post over the weekend, "Jill Biden likes being First Lady...she doesn't want to give that up."
Meanwhile, Hunter, who doesn't exactly have strong reputation for sound judgment, is said to long for Americans to see a version of his father that -- as paraphrased by the Times -- is "scrappy and in command of the facts." Much as he once was in denial about his drug problem, Hunter now seems incapable of admitting that that version of his father is gone forever:
Biden family members are said to have blamed the debate debacle on three advisors: Anita Dunn, her husband Bob Bauer -- who played the role of Trump in practice sessions -- and Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain, who was in charge of the debate training. Aides to Biden denied these reports from multiple outlets.
With Biden having spent a full week at Camp David gearing up for the debate, his family members and others are claiming the team worked the 81-year-old too hard, and tried to pack him full of too many statistics. They even fault advisors for a debate-night makeup job that transformed his summer-tanned face to one that was pale and unhealthy-looking. Relatives also blamed debate-host CNN for not "fact-checking" Donald Trump and not telling Biden which camera would be on him as he blankly stared a thousand miles into space with his mouth agape.
