'The Biden Whisperer'

When The Hill columnist Joe Concha asked Memoli if the time he spent with Biden affected his ability to report on Biden fairly, he said that his "over-understanding" of the candidate allowed him to examine Biden better. "I've been called out once or twice during the campaign because I'm familiar to him, and because maybe I get the first question before others do. But I don't think I've found it hard to cover him with scrutiny and critically at all," Memoli told The Hill in November 2020.
