US President Joe Biden (80) caused confusion by announcing a “big press conference”. “I’m going to give a big press conference this afternoon. I love you all, but I would like to ask you to go (…) “, Biden said Friday afternoon (local time) after a public appearance in front of the press in attendance. This called earlier questions to Biden.
The problem with Biden’s announcement: Nothing was known about a planned press conference. Normally, the president’s public nominations are published the night before — no press conference was scheduled for Friday. Media began to wonder what the mysterious press conference might be about.
Then, in the afternoon, the White House announced in the usual manner that the president’s public appearances were closed for the day. No reference was made to the announced press conference. US media, citing the White House, reported that when Biden made his announcement, he was referring to a recording of an interview with MSNBC that was to air on Friday night (local time).
The alleged press conference sparked outrage online and fueled debate over the president’s age. The 80-year-old is regularly ridiculed with slips of the tongue.
Biden entered the White House in 2021 as the oldest president ever. The Democrat had announced a week ago that he would run for a second term in next year’s election. If Biden is elected in a year and a half, he will be 81 years old, at the end of a possible second term he would be 86. (SDA/jmh)
