Overview

  • Biden relied on note cards that included a Los Angeles Times reporter's pre-written question during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.
  • The White House claimed providing Biden with advance knowledge of reporters' questions is "normal protocol" to prepare the president, though some disagree.
  • The level of detail on Biden's cheat sheet has led to speculation about his mental fitness and handling of unscripted situations.
  • Biden has held far fewer press conferences and interviews than past presidents, frustrating some journalists who want more access and transparency.
  • The controversy added fuel to Republican claims that Biden's age is affecting his ability to serve as president.
