As the oldest sitting president in US history at 81 years old, President Biden is facing attacks from Republicans through the spread of “cheap” cut-and-paste videos that are being used to portray him in a negative light. The videos often show Mr. Biden making mistakes or appearing clumsy, which is then amplified by conservative influencers and spread across different languages on social media platforms.
Despite these videos being debunked, they can still have an impact on voters who are concerned about Mr. Biden’s age. This has caused headaches for Democratic aides and strategists who are trying to respond effectively to the false narratives being spread about their candidate.
In response to these challenges, the Biden team is taking steps to limit the appearance of these fake videos on social media platforms and promote verified information about their candidate. They are also considering increasing attacks on former President Trump online to counter the false narratives being spread about President Biden.
The spread of misinformation through edited videos has become a challenge for both parties as they navigate the digital landscape of modern politics. It highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in online content creation and sharing, as well as the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking in forming opinions about political candidates.
