Here's an interesting fact from the good folks at Open the Books: Biden's White House staff is the largest in decades, with about 560 people.
Here's the really curious detail in their report: there has been a 77 percent turnover rate in Biden's staff.
What accounts for it? Moreover, with this many former White House staff people floating around, you'd think at least one reporter would be calling as many of them as possible for leads about Biden and the workings of Biden's White House.
So far only the Wall Street Journal's news team, which was flayed alive by other media when they reported two months ago that Biden was "Slipping," seems to be digging deeper with present and past White House staff: Senior White House advisers for more than a year have aggressively stage-managed President Biden's schedule, movements and personal interactions, as they sought to minimize signs of how age has taken a toll on the oldest president in U.S. history.
The White House has limited Biden's daily itinerary and shielded him from impromptu exchanges.
German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to accommodate the president by planning a June 2022 event with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the early evening.
A U.S. official said the White House indicated early on that Biden wouldn't attend.
