The campaign staff of US President Joe Biden will no longer offer to journalists who plan to interview the head of the US administration should ask questions prepared by them in advance, reported CNN.
Despite the fact that the presenters have always had the opportunity to ask the questions they want, from now on we will refrain from asking questions”, the TV channel quoted its source as saying.
Earlier, two radio hosts who interviewed Biden this week said they were given a list of questions before speaking with the president that they were told to stick to. The interviews were conducted after Biden's lackluster performance in the pre-election televised debates.
The televised debate between Biden and Trump took place on June 27 in Atlanta (Georgia). The two were not allowed to carry abstracts of their speeches with them. According to a CNN poll, two-thirds of viewers who watched the debate thought Trump won the debate. As The Wall Street Journal previously reported, there has been panic among Democrats in the US Congress over what they say is Biden's poor performance in the televised debate. It has been noted that some Democrats are hoping to find a new contender for the Democratic presidential nomination.
