WASHINGTON (AP) — The pressure and chaos swirling since Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance is causing cracks inside a White House that until now has been marked mostly by discipline and loyalty. The debate fallout has sparked internal drama, leaks and second-guessing. The Biden White House has been mostly a restrained and staid operation, marked more by an insistence on showcasing policy rather than palace intrigue. But Biden’s shaky debate performance has led to an unusually public blame game. There have been leaks of private phone calls with the president and questions about Hunter Biden’s presence at the White House and influence with his father.
