It appears that he secluded himself \u200cfor seven days at\u200c Camp- David to prepare,\u200b which, according to\u200b a source close to him, might have \u200dbeen counterproductive. A \u200bBiden adviser commented to\u2063 Axios that\u2064 the president was excessively focused on minor details rather than displaying the needed vigor and\u2064 energy. This \u200dled to \u200csuggestions that he was &#8220;over-prepared&#8221; and that the preparation \u200cstrategy \u200cmissed the mark, focusing too much on details instead of allowing him some rest.\u200d This approach\u2062 to \u2064the debate preparation has raised \u200csome concerns and criticisms among observers\u2063 and within \u200dhis own team.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_79\">\n<p>Thursday&rsquo;s first presidential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate<\/a> in Atlanta was President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>&rsquo;s opportunity to put voters at ease, but reports suggest some people are questioning the amount of time he spent preparing for it.<\/p>\n<p>For seven days, Biden was not seen by the public as he was preparing for the debate at Camp David, which one person in Biden&rsquo;s circle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/06\/28\/biden-trump-debate-defcon1-2024-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>told<\/a> <em>Axios<\/em> came at his detriment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He was over-prepared and relying on minutiae when all that mattered was vigor and energy,&rdquo; a Biden adviser told the outlet. &ldquo;They prepared him for the wrong debate.
