Just about anyone can beat Trump. Now that we don't have a senile old man holding us back, we'll be fine.

Who cares if it's Kamala? She's not senile, she's not Genocide Joe, and she's not an unhinged fascist. She's a shoe-in.

Lol. Yeah, leftists have famously supported Genocide Joe unconditionally. /s

When did I heard that before?

I can only hope Death hasn't left D.C. yet, but is just sharpening his scythe. In particular, there are a couple presidential candidates who are rotting on the vine.

Is it standard operating procedure or not? If it is, then why would it make the Biden team look bad for revealing that they followed the norms.

It's not unheard of for a politician to ask what will be covered in an interview. It's not good practice to provide questions ahead of time, and it's unheard of to let the interviewee script the questions themselves.

Most damning is the lack of confidence Biden's own staffers have in him to rig the interviews in which he is supposed to be demonstrating his mental agility and acuity.

No. It's fairly common for interviewees to ask for a list of questions beforehand, but according to Boston University journalism professor Christopher Daly "it is not good professional practice to give questions in advance to sources such as public officials." And to let the interviewee actually write the questions for you is egregious journalism malpractice, thus the resignation.
