While Donald Trump was out there mixing it up with working-class people, Joe Biden spent part of Saturday evening at a „star-studded campaign fundraiser“ cohosted by former President Barack Obama. This was a bit of a stretch for Uncle Joe because the event lasted quite a while and included a 45-minute interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Still, at least by Biden’s normal standards, things seemed to go pretty well for the most part. Or at least that was the case until the end when Biden and Obama were receiving an ovation. In a scene we’ve watched far too often, that’s when Joe Biden’s face seemed to go blank and he stared out at the audience for an uncomfortable ten seconds without speaking or gesturing. Barack Obama finally grabbed him by the wrist and led him off the stage while Jimmy Kimmel remained behind. Obama was apparently filling in for Jill Biden on Saturday. (NY Post)
President Biden appeared to freeze up on stage and had to be led off by Barack Obama at the conclusion of a star-studded campaign fundraiser in Los Angeles Saturday night.
The awkward moment took place after Biden and his predecessor sat for a 45-minute interview with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
As the men stood for applause, Biden’s gaze seemed to become fixed on the crowd for a full 10 seconds until former President Barack Obama took his wrist and led him offstage.
We’ll get to the media response to this incident in a moment, but first, take a look at the video and judge for yourself. Biden seems to be doing well enough initially, waving briefly at the audience and smiling along with Obama and Kimmel.
