Keep Joe Biden away from microphones

It may be too late, the damage is done. But in the last few days before the US election, it should surely be the priority for the Kamala Harris campaign to keep Joe Biden well away from any microphones or Video calls, or Zoom calls, or the phone. Best to lock him up surrounded by Secret Service agents and send in food and water. Because the chances of him saying something else that will screw Kamala's hopes of winning the election must be very very high. No disrespect to the president. But he is now more gaffe-prone than ever and if he wants his vice president to succeed him he should keep well away from everything for the next four days. That's all it is, just four days left. The trouble is, when you put a microphone in front of him and reporters gather round, ever eager to pick up anything of newsy interest, he more often than not will oblige. He said on several occasions he would go to Taiwan's aid if China invaded, even though the protocol is that the US recognises the one state of China and is not supposed to support Taiwan staying independent, although of course it does. Every time he said the US military would rush to Taiwan's aid, there was a diplomatic earthquake in China. No harm in that, but each time Biden said it, the White House and State Department had to clarify and say, no he didn't really say that. The garbage remark re Trump supporters (supporter's) will be remembered for ever. Especially by Kamala Harris if she loses on Tuesday.
