They only believe he is more honest because that’s what the media says. Despite the fact that this is the same media that has been saying for 4 years that Biden was mentally fit to be president when he clearly wasn’t - even back in 2020.
Literally the media pivoted over night after the debate when they realized they couldn’t cover for him anymore.
Biden lies all the time. At almost every appearance he has a new life experience to tell that never actually happened.
