President Biden should be more engaged with the press, political expert warns: 'Constantly acting indignant'

Democratic strategists warned that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on President Biden's handling of classified documents exacerbated concerns voters already had, and suggest the president be more engaged with the press.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that some political experts believe the White House didn't address the special counsel report fast enough.

"What we've seen from this White House is in a lot of ways attempting to do business as usual, to overcome adversity and bad narratives by ignoring them," Samuel Woolley, director of the University of Texas at Austin's propaganda research lab, told the media outlet.

"If Joe Biden is fine in the way they say he is, we should see more of Joe Biden being incredibly active and incredibly engaged with the press," Woolley suggested. "That would be quite a bit more sensible then constantly acting indignant."

JAMES CARVILLE ADVISES DEMOCRATS NOT TO 'TELL PEOPLE HOW GREAT THIS ECONOMY IS'

Democratic strategist James Carville said confirming an "existing suspicion" was one of the worst things that could happen to someone in politics.

"The most damning thing that can happen to you in politics is if you confirm an existing suspicion," he said, according to Reuters. "This is a problem that cannot get any better."

Carville said on Saturday that Biden's decision to turn down the Super Bowl interview opportunity was a "sign" the White House didn't have much confidence in him.

"It’s the biggest television audience, not even close, and you get a chance to do a 20-, 25-minute interview on that day," Carville began. "And you don’t do it? That’s a kind of sign that the staff or yourself doesn’t have much confidence in you."
