President Biden Adjusts Walking Routine to Marine One, Aides Now Accompany Him

Joe Biden's new walking strategy surrounds him with aides to minimize focus on his age and health concerns.

President Joe Biden has altered his approach to walking to Marine One, now frequently accompanied by aides to obscure his gait.
The change, initiated by Biden, aims to address public concerns about his age and physical condition, highlighted by his stiff and shuffling walk.
Biden's team has introduced this new routine after over three years of him walking solo, starting in mid-April 2024.
The president's health issues, including spinal arthritis and neuropathy, have necessitated adjustments in his public appearances.
This tactical shift is part of broader efforts to manage the public's perception of Biden's fitness for office amid the 2024 campaign.
