WSJ found out about Biden's financial problems due to his unpopularity

Former US President Joe Biden is having difficulty finding paid appearances due to his advanced age and unpopularity. This was reported on September 15 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources.

"The number of people willing [to invite Biden to speak for a fee] is limited," the article says.

According to WSJ sources, Biden's unpopularity in democratic circles and his advanced age have limited the number of those who are willing to invite the former US president to the event for a fee. At the same time, the amount for Biden's speech can range from $300,000 to $500,000, the newspaper writes.

In addition, among the reasons for Biden's lack of offers to speak at public events, WSJ sources mentioned the possibility of revenge from the current President of the United States, Donald Trump.

The former head of the White House faced financial difficulties, the newspaper claims. He confessed to people around him that he intends to pay off a personal debt of about $800,000, which includes loans for a house in Rehoboth Beach worth $2.7 million, as well as the costs of his son Hunter's legal problems. Biden also expressed a desire to help his daughter Ashley, who has filed for divorce, and to provide financial support to his grandchildren.

Newsmax, citing the memoirs of former US Vice President Kamala Harris, said on September 10 that she and Biden's inner circle considered his decision to run for a second term to be "reckless." In the book, Harris also talked about her difficult relationship with the former US president, whose inner circle, according to the former vice president, "pushed her into the background." She also believed that many of Biden's entourage disliked her for "performing too well."
