After delivering a speech in Pittsburgh, President Joe Biden seemed to have difficulty exiting the stage.
Biden, 79, was spotted moving to his right to leave the stage after delivering his address when he paused and asked his staff a question while raising his hands.
He quickly turns around and leaves on his left side.
He made a visit in Pittsburgh to see how the $25.3 million Fern Hollow Bridge renovation was coming along. In January, the bridge gave way, injuring 10 people and swallowing a number of vehicles.
By the end of the year, the bridge is expected to be completely rebuilt, an achievement Biden praised.
According to Biden, it would typically take two to five years to replace a bridge of that size. God willing, I’m coming to walk over this fool by Christmas.
He also bragged about his $1 trillion infrastructure program, the largest since Eisenhower’s interstate system and expected to assist 2,500 more bridges.
According to Trib Live, seven more bridges in Pennsylvania need to be fixed.
Although Pittsburgh is a city of bridges, too many of them are in disrepair, according to Biden. “This never should have happened,”
He made a rare stop to talk with reporters before traveling to Pennsylvania, but rather than just responding to their inquiries, the president reprimanded them for asking about his campaign trips and abortion regulations.
While telling another reporter to “teach” themselves, the president branded one reporter a “kid.”
Biden raced up to the line of reporters waiting for his departure and screamed replies to them over the noise of Marine One as he and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman left for rallies in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
There haven’t been many candidates campaigning alongside you, but John Fetterman will be there today in Pennsylvania. Weijia Jiang, a correspondent with CBS News, opened.
That’s not true!, Biden said above the noises of Marine One as he interrupted her.
He said, “There have been fifteen.” “Count, you little one!”
Prior to the midterm elections on November 8, Biden was asked whether he will campaign with other candidates. He said, “Yeah.”
After being questioned about his support for “restrictions on abortion at all,” Biden then turned to pro-life EWTN White House Correspondent Owen Jensen.
Yes, there should be, said Biden, a devout Catholic.
“What ought they to be?” Jensen shoved.
“Roe v. Wade,” Observe it, guy. You’ll learn,’ the president assured.
The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision made abortion a protected medical choice that should be discussed between a woman and her doctor rather than imposing any governmental restrictions on it.
Roe v. Wade was overruled by the Supreme Court in June, leaving abortion regulations up to the states. States have been fighting to impose their own restrictions for years.
The president sometimes need some stage direction despite the interaction with reporters outside the White House.
After delivering a speech at the UN in late September, Biden seemed to make a similar stage mistake.
The president started to leave the platform as there was applause, but stopped in his steps and looked around with a confused expression on his face.
He then seemed to ask onlookers how to exit the stage before taking a few halting steps.
On Twitter, Texas Senator Ted Cruz described the situation as “terrifying,” and his spokesman Steve Guest added, “Joe Biden seems absolutely confused on stage.” Sad and frightful.
As yet another illustration of doubts about Biden’s physical and mental fitness for the presidency, the video of the uncomfortable side-steps quickly gained popularity on social media. During his appearance with 60 Minutes in September, Biden refuted claims that he was too old or unable to run for office again in 2024 and stated, “Watch me.”
Many people have also brought up Biden’s incident from August, when he struggled for about a minute to pull on his suit jacket and had trouble doing so even with Jill Biden’s assistance.
Additionally, Biden had a nasty accident when bicycling close to his Delaware vacation at Rehoboth Beach, where he tumbled to the ground after falling off his bike.
