President Biden was reportedly incensed by his low approval ratings, to the point of shouting and swearing at aides during a January meeting.
Sources said Biden lost patience when informed of dipping numbers in key states, which stemmed from voter discontent with his response to the conflict in Gaza.
While Biden maintained he was doing the right thing in the region, his approval rating stands at 38% with a 56% disapproval according to polls.
Biden believes he hasn’t received enough credit for economic successes and prescription drug price actions.
He has pushed aides to highlight these wins and resisted being sheltered from public events where he could risk gaffes.
“The man’s been successful for decades in Congress and became vice president and president,” an unnamed former staffer stated. “If you try to change the person, you’re making a mistake. Let the president go out there and do his thing.”
Sources said Biden may be mad at himself for not being more forceful with staff.
