President Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic party, seemed disoriented and uncertain as he mentioned to reporters that he might face consequences for responding to their inquiries. Shortly after his statement, Biden’s aides ushered the reporters out of the room.
This incident occurred during a press conference on Tuesday, following a strong defense of his mental sharpness by his press secretary. The 81-year-old leader began expressing his concerns even before picking up the microphone at the commencement of a task force designed to reduce expenses for American households.
“I have a lot of questions,” Biden mumbled, garnering a few laughs from the audience.
“I better not start the questions. I’ll get in trouble.”
He let out a ragged breath into the microphone, then set it down and gazed ahead with his mouth open. He proceeded to disregard a few of the reporter’s final efforts to ask a question as they were escorted out of the room by Biden’s aides. Biden seemed breathless and disoriented throughout the ordeal.
