President Biden’s campaign will no longer feed media outlets questions for future interviews after it was embarrassingly outed for the practice on national television.
“While interview hosts have always been free to ask whatever questions they please, moving forward we will refrain from offering suggested questions,” a source familiar with Biden’s booking operation for media outlets told The Post Saturday.
The source’s comments came mere hours after a Philadelphia radio host revealed on CNN that the Biden campaign supplied her questions before the embattled 81-year-old appeared on her show.

She said she approved the eight questions, and four were chosen.
Biden stumbled repeatedly during the interview — bizarrely claiming he was proud to be “the first black woman to serve with a black president.”
He also made other nonsensical claims including: “I’m the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware when I was a kid.”
What to know about the calls for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race:
- President Biden’s poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate left some Democrats unsure of his fitness for office and future as the party’s candidate.
- More than a dozen congressional Democrats have joined in calling for Biden’s exit from the race. Former Biden supporter George Clooney echoed these calls in an op-ed published in the New York Times just weeks after he helped lead a record-breaking fundraiser for the Democrat.
- Democratic voters have continued to raise concerns about Biden’s nomination since the debate, with speculations and suggestions for replacement nominees running rampant.
- Biden’s former running mate Barack Obama has reportedly been trying to pressure him to drop out, and had prior knowledge of Clooney’s op-ed. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly told Biden he could not beat former President Donald Trump this time around.
- As the Democratic National Convention approaches, California delegates for the Democratic Party are reportedly in disarray as debate over the president’s chances of re-election threatens to tear the party apart.
- However, the Biden campaign has denied any plans for Biden to bow out and for Kamala Harris to step in as the Democratic nominee. Sources close to the president believe he might not be willing to drop out, while other sources claim he is “receptive” to giving up on a second term.
In addition, Biden repeatedly stumbled during his appearance on a second radio interview Wednesday for “The Earl Ingram Show” on WMCS in Milwaukee.
Ingram, who also appeared on CNN’s “First of All,” did not dispute Lawful-Sanders’ description of how Biden’s camp dictated the questions.
The Biden campaign later claimed it’s common to send interviewers suggested talking points.
“Hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,” Biden spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement.
The president appeared for pre-recorded interviews with both black radio stations in part to calm concerns among Democrats about his ability to serve another term in the White House.
However, the appearances only managed to raise even more questions about Biden’s cognitive ability.
