Biden's Struggles at Public Events Becoming More Evident
Joint Press Conference with Kenyan President
President Joe Biden's cognitive challenges seemed more pronounced during a joint press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto at the White House on Thursday. Despite having a list of pre-approved journalists and questions, Biden, 81, appeared to struggle at the podium.
Biden's Confusion at the Press Conference
At one point during the press conference, Biden seemed unsure of the procedure, asking if he was to pose the next question. He also seemed to forget his question, prompting a reminder from a reporter. When a reporter asked if he could ask two questions, Biden abruptly responded with a firm "No, one".
Biden's Struggles Continue
The President's struggles didn't end there. He had to ask a reporter to repeat her question, even though the question was pre-written in his binder. His verbal fumbles continued when he claimed that Africa was on its way to having over a billion people, despite the fact that the continent's population is already over 1.2 billion.
More Missteps
In addition to these missteps, Biden referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as "President Kamala Harris". There was also an odd moment when he suddenly exclaimed "Whoa!" as reporters were being ushered out of the event by the press secretary.
Challenges Outside the Press Conference
Biden's difficulties were not confined to the press conference. During an outdoor ceremony commemorating Ruto's visit, Biden seemed to need guidance at every step.
Trump's Activities in Comparison
In contrast to Biden's struggles, his Republican opponent Donald Trump appears to be maintaining a more active schedule, preparing for a large rally in the South Bronx, New York City, following another campaign event in Houston.
