White House abruptly cuts media feed as Biden goes off script during Idaho event

The White House has bizarrely cut the feed during a meeting about wildfire preparedness with officials and President Joe Biden on Monday, local time.

President Biden attended a meeting in Boise, Idaho, about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states in the country’s west.

The president spoke for the majority of the address, but he stopped when he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters.

Midway through Mr Biden's question, which was not part of his prepared remarks, the White House abruptly cut the feed.

The incident is one of many occasions where the White House cut the media feed when the president went off his prepared remarks,

The incident comes only a few days after Politico reported how White House staffers will "either mute [Biden] or turn off his remarks" because they were anxious that he would veer from "the West Wing’s carefully orchestrated messaging."
