'Why are we doing this?' Biden aides are losing morale because no one is watching his speeches and his cool guy reputation can't be utilized as he has to speak to 'serious things' instead of 'getting ice cream,' report claims
President Joe Biden's pattern of delivering speeches and hosting events from the so-called 'set of Jeopardy' has frustrated White House aides
CNN interviewed staffers and Democrats on the struggles they've face trying to get Biden to create the right kinds of headlines
'He has to speak about very serious things,' explained one White House aide to the network, 'and you can't do that getting ice cream'
The aide was referring to Biden's previous reputation of an aviator-sporting, ice cream cone-gobbling, man-of-the-people
Aides indicated to CNN that staff has met again and again on the issue of how to utilize the president best - with the strategy stuck in the status quo
