President Joe Biden on Thursday made his first public appearance in days. He welcomed the Texas Rangers to the White House to celebrate their 2023 World Series championship season. Things started to take a turn as Biden went off-script.
“He’s gonna need another finger or else he’s gotta put the fifth ringer on his thumb, I mean, I don’t know how you do that, man…” Biden said.
At one point Joe Biden said everyone should start learning about Latino culture.
“28 out of every high school students is Latino, we better start figuring it out,” Biden said.
After mumbling through brief remarks, a confused Biden left the White House en route to Wilmington, Delaware.
“All right, what am I doing now?” Biden said before beelining to children.
Next week, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are set to make their first joint campaign trip since the US president’s shock decision to drop out of the 2024 White House race against Donald Trump.
Seeking to burnish his legacy in his final months in office and support the new Democratic ticket, Biden will appear alongside his vice president at an event in the state of Maryland near Washington on August 15.
The pair would “discuss the progress they are making to lower costs for the American people”, the White House said in a statement Friday, adding that further details would be released later.
