Former President Joe Biden struggled to find his way off stage at the Maryland Democratic Party’s “Fight Back and Win” summit outside Baltimore. According to reports, Biden turned to the side looking for directions, pointed two different ways, and then wandered off with his back to the audience.

Biden’s Speech

Biden’s speech was also marred by issues, as he squinted at the teleprompter, coughed loudly several times, and leaned on the script the entire way through. He criticized President Trump over what he called the “deliberate distraction — destruction of NATO,” and also spoke about renovations at the White House.

Biden also made comments about the economy, asking the room if Americans had noticed that the economy under his administration was better than under Trump. However, this statement was met with skepticism given the high inflation rates during his presidency.

Pattern of Behavior

This incident is not an isolated one, as Biden has had similar struggles in the past. He was left standing awkwardly onstage at the grand opening of the Obama presidential library in Chicago, and also had trouble navigating the stage at the 2024 G7 in Italy.

The Democratic establishment has been criticized for downplaying Biden’s cognitive issues, with some arguing that loyalty to power has taken precedence over honesty with voters.
