For the first time as president, Joe Biden is set to appear on late-night TV, with a guest appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s „The Tonight Show.“
The appearance, the first of any sitting president on a late night show since Barack Obama in 2016, comes as Biden finds himself beset on all sides by struggles. The Consumer Price Index rose to 6.8% in November, the highest it has been since 1982, as extended inflation worries plague the economy. Biden’s approval rating is mired in the low 40s, and Democratic retirements are soaring amid concerns that the 2022 midterm elections will be a political bloodbath for the President’s party.
