Early Apple Investor Alan Patricof Calls For Biden To 'Hit The Road' Post Debate: 'Need To See Joe Biden Be Joe Biden'

Following President Joe Biden’s recent debate performance, early Apple investor and veteran venture capitalist Alan Patricof has expressed his desire to see the President connect more directly with the public.

What Happened: On Monday, Patricof voiced his thoughts on Biden’s approach during CNBC’s “Last Call.”

“I need to see Joe Biden be Joe Biden,” Patricof stated, suggesting that the President should engage more directly with the American populace.

He further recommended, “If I was running this campaign, I would put Joe Biden on the road, I’ll send him to many cities as I could, let people see him.”

Why It Matters: Patricof’s comments echo the sentiments of former Democratic senator Heidi Heitkamp, who recently suggested that Biden should ‘go off the teleprompter’ and engage more directly with the American people. This follows a recent Supreme Court ruling granting partial immunity to former President Donald Trump, after which Biden did not take questions from the audience.

Biden’s recent debate performance has drawn criticism and concern from various quarters. The President’s family has rallied behind him, expressing their confidence in his ability to secure a Democratic victory despite the debate’s outcome.

Biden’s age and health have become the primary concerns with VC Chamath Palihapitiya suggesting that there are individuals in Biden’s campaign acting “diabolically” to retain power instead of allowing Biden to retire.
