Recent reports have surfaced regarding concerns expressed by some Democratic officials over President Biden's performance at the White House's Juneteenth event. Attendees at the event observed what they perceived as troubling behavior from the president, with some drawing parallels to his performance in past debates.
During the Juneteenth celebration, video footage captured a moment where Biden appeared to freeze, exhibiting a blank stare and still posture before Philonise Floyd approached him. Texas State Rep. Ron Reynolds described the incident as unusual and noted similarities to Biden's demeanor during a presidential debate against former President Trump.
Reynolds shared that conversations with fellow attendees at the event led to a consensus that Biden's behavior was concerning and not an isolated incident. Alabama State Rep. Juandalynn Givan also expressed worries about Biden's condition, despite affirming her continued support for him.
A former Obama official, speaking anonymously, highlighted Biden's speech at the Juneteenth event as a cause for concern, raising questions about the president's well-being and ability to fulfill his duties effectively.
While the White House has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter, a deputy press secretary previously dismissed criticisms of Biden's performance, attributing the observed behavior to a lack of context in the shared video footage.
Despite calls from some House Democrats for Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, the president remains steadfast in his commitment to continue campaigning.
