The New York Times (which I think it is fair to describe as very activist on this issue) describes the Biden Administration's (non)reaction to Biden's apparent unpopularity and concerns surrounding his age as Joe Biden putting "Self over party".

Do you think that characterization accurate, that the determining factor in administration strategy is the career- or self-interest of Biden and/or his staff and advisors?

Or do you think it inaccurate, and broader concerns are governing their choices?
