At a recent fundraiser in Los Angeles, US President Joe Biden momentarily appeared to freeze on stage, prompting former President Barack Obama to step in and guide him offstage. The incident, captured in viral videos from multiple sources, shows Biden standing awkwardly at the event as attendees look on.
Obama, who was also present, is seen approaching Biden and gently leading him away from the podium. The event, held to raise funds for Democratic candidates ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, turned heads when this unexpected moment occurred between the two former colleagues.
Social media users were quick to react, with one user expressing concern over the incident, stating ‘This isn’t normal.’ Another user commented on the video, highlighting the need to question who the de facto POTUS is in this situation.
President Biden, at 81 years old, has faced scrutiny over his occasional lapses in speeches and public appearances, raising debates about his health and fitness for office. This is not the first time such incidents have drawn attention, with a recent video showing Biden wandering off during a group photo session at the G7 summit.
The incident at the fundraiser has sparked discussions online, with differing interpretations of the moment. While some view it as a genuine exchange between friends, others have used the incident to question Biden’s mental acuity. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed the speculation, emphasizing the camaraderie between Biden and Obama.
Overall, the fundraiser was a success, raising over $30 million for Biden’s reelection campaign. With star-studded appearances from the likes of George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand, the event highlighted the importance of defeating former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Despite the viral moment, the focus on the fundraiser remains on supporting Biden’s campaign and the need to rally against Trump’s policies and actions.
