Some of those watch parties will be hosted by social media content creators — to whom the campaign says it will grant access to the post-debate spin room, a place usually reserved for credentialed media.

Only if you 100% agree with Biden and never say he does anything less than perfectly tho...

“I have noticed that there have been a lot more events with creators, but the creators that are getting invited are the creators who are very pro-Biden and just parroting talking points or sharing photo ops of them smiling with the president. Not the creators who have been critical,” said Kahlil Greene, a history content creator and education advocate in Washington who said he hasn’t been invited to the White House since he criticized the administration over the TikTok ban and the war in Gaza.

Biden wants the appearance of support, but doesn't want to do anything to actually get support. When a powerful person surrounds themselves with people who never criticize them, they start doing illogical things.

With all the crazy shit, we don't need an illogical president right now, even if the alternative is bat shit insane it doesn't magically lower the qualifications.
