    Political Wire, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 06:40 AM

Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides,” Axios reports. “With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait.”
