Biden's Airstrikes in Iraq: Contradictions and Confusion

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden has been notably absent from public appearances and traditional presidential activities, such as addressing the nation on recent airstrikes, staying in South Carolina for his primary win, and participating in a Super Bowl interview. The White House insists that this approach is intentional and aims to efficiently reach voters through modern communication strategies. Critics worry that Biden's absence may be perceived as a lack of control, while his team emphasizes their focus on generating local media coverage and viral moments that play to Biden's strengths.
