According to Axios, White House staff regularly prepare documents for Biden ahead of events such as speeches and rallies.

One document revealed by the outlet features large photos and text to give Biden details on where to go and what to do. One example shows a photo of a stage, along with the instructions: "Walk to podium."

"It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room," one staffer told Axios.

The report follows Biden's poor debate performance against his Republican rival, Donald Trump.

Throughout his campaign, Biden has faced concerns about his age and ability to do his job, and his debate performance brought it front and center, resulting in Trump growing his lead in the polls and growing calls from Democrats for Biden to drop out of the race.

Nonetheless, the president has vowed to continue campaigning.

A spokesperson for the Biden campaign argued that such documents are common, as "high levels of detail and precision are critical" to organizing presidential events.
