The Interview: “A Fog of Delusion and Denial”: How Democrats Hid Biden’s Decline
In this episode, Mosh sits down with Chris Whipple, author of the new book Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History for a behind-the-scenes look at the tight-lipped four years of the Biden Administration. Whipple interviewed several former White House staffers–including Biden’s former Chief of Staff, Ron Klain–about Biden’s decline before and during his presidency, and what he calls a “fog of delusion and denial” in the President’s inner circle leading into the 2024 campaign.
He takes us inside Camp David for the prep before his disastrous June 27 debate, and the chaos in the Democratic party during the three weeks after the debate until Biden’s decision to drop out.
It’s also a story of personalities in Washington: the complicated relationship between Biden and Barack Obama, why Kamala Harris’ loyalty may have contributed to her failed campaign, and why President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, might have a better handle on him than anyone who held the role in his first term.
