Sky News Australia. Biden's leaked bedtime request puts White House on damage control

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.
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".
