The White House has moved into damage control after US President Joe Biden's comments about his work hours were leaked.

The President held a meeting with over 20 Democratic governors on Wednesday in Washington D.C. amid fallout from his debate performance.

He told the gathering he needed more sleep, wished to work fewer hours, and wanted to avoid events after 8pm, according to two anonymous meeting participants who told The New York Times.

Mr Biden's campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said "he was clearly making a joke" and the President followed the odd gag by saying "all kidding aside".

Spokesman for the Biden campaign, Kevin Munoz, defended the President's bizarre remarks by comparing the US leader's schedule to former presidents.

“President Bush went to bed at 9, and President Obama made dinner at 6:30. Normal presidents strike a balance, and so does Joe Biden," he said.

    We can absolutely accommodate his wish for fewer work hours and an early bedtime! Vote him out.
  • It is grossly irresponsible and downright careless to allow this feeble individual to remain in the office of president

    America needs a full time President, who is able to protect his country on demand.

    Why do we only hear “what’s good for the democratic party”? How about what is good for the American people!

    His wife needs to be arrested for elder abuse. She loves the power and money that comes with his position. Truly disgusting

    He admitted that he can't handle the job, but we all knew that 3 years ago.
