The Spin

Republican narrative

Biden's use of the autopen represented a troubling abdication of presidential responsibility, raising questions about who actually ran the country. The machine signed thousands of pardons and critical orders while Biden appeared increasingly detached from governance. This isn't about routine correspondence — it's about basic presidential duties being delegated to a machine amid cognitive decline.

Democratic narrative

The autopen is a standard administrative tool used by presidents across party lines for decades, and Biden personally authorized every document signed with the device as required by law. Trump himself admitted to using autopens for correspondence, making this attack pure political theater designed to distract from real governing challenges. The display represents petty vindictiveness rather than presidential leadership.
