Biden says he needs to get more sleep and work fewer hours: Report

Published July 4, 2024 5:41pm ET



President Joe Biden told a group of governors that he should get more sleep and work fewer hours to avoid fatigue while carrying out his official duties and running for reelection, according to reports.

Biden told a gathering of Democratic governors Wednesday that he should scale back his schedule, including cutting off any events that occur after 8 p.m., sources told the New York Times. The comments come as Biden faces questions from within his own party about withdrawing from the presidential race after his debate performance last week, during which he had multiple verbal slip-ups and repeatedly lost his train of thought.
