Joe Biden Freezes During Juneteenth Concert


Joe Biden froze up on Monday during his recent appearance at a Juneteenth concert at the White House.

Videos on X, show Biden freezing up while standing next to Kamala Harris while the two were listening to singer Kirk Franklin.

In the video, Biden is standing completely still with a stone-faced stare.

Take a look:

Fox News broke the story:

President Biden appeared to freeze during a Juneteenth celebration at the White House on Monday.

Biden, 81, was filmed standing still as stone while those around him, including Vice President Kamala Harris, clapped and danced to a concert featuring gospel singer Kirk Franklin.

Video shows Biden staring blankly and not moving an inch for about 30 seconds before Philonise Floyd — the brother of George Floyd, whose murder triggered nationwide riots in 2020 — noticed the president and put his arm around him. Biden then smiles as Floyd leans in to say something, and they bump fists after exchanging a few words.

Republicans, who have sought to make the president’s advanced age an issue in the 2024 election, were quick to deride the president. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Why isn’t Biden moving?” the Republican National Committee’s rapid response account questioned on X.

“Lights are on but no one’s home,” former President Trump’s campaign posted.

Per Sky News:

Joe Biden appeared to freeze for several seconds before briefly stumbling on his words at an event marking the anniversary of Juneteenth.

The president, 81, stood motionless while people cheered around him at a concert on the White House lawn on Monday.

When he later gave a speech about Juneteenth – for which there is a federal holiday next week – he stumbled through a few words that are difficult to understand on audio.

It comes after Donald Trump, 77, suffered his own mishap at a campaign event on Sunday.

A teleprompter malfunction in Las Vegas sent the former president off on a bizarre rant about his dislike of sharks.

Thus isn’t the first time Biden has frozen up.

Just look:
