    This doesn’t make sense…

    They were sent the questions by the campaign, “approved” 4, and then the campaign choose the ones she approved?

    It’s backwards from how it should work…

    On CNN earlier Saturday, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, the host of WURD’s “The Source,” said Biden officials provided her with a list of eight questions ahead of their interview with Biden.

    “The questions were sent to me for approval; I approved of them,” she said.

    “I got several questions — eight of them,” she continued. “And the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved.”

    It’s a new thing to compensate for his poor performances, the article lists two other examples pre-debate where the campaign was more “you should ask about these topics”.

    These interviews are being presented to voters as Biden being able to think on he’s feet.

      The campaign sent eight questions.

      The host approved four questions for her show. Those four were among the eight.
