Joe Biden Seen Struggling on Delaware Beach, Video of First Lady Jill Biden Offering Support Goes Viral
Joe Biden Seen Struggling on Delaware Beach: On Sunday, a video clip of President Joe Biden attempting to navigate a sandy Delaware beach went viral, capturing moments that sparked a social media frenzy. The footage, recorded by CSPAN, shows the 81-year-old president accompanied by First Lady Jill Biden, who offers him support as he walks along the uneven terrain. Biden appears to stumble a few times, prompting the First Lady to hold his arm for balance as they make their way across the sand.
The video shows Biden hastening towards a group of reporters waiting nearby, who were eager for his comments on a high-profile meeting scheduled for Wednesday with newly re-elected former President Donald Trump at the White House. In a historic twist, Trump recently won a return to office after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, in the 2024 presidential race. His victory marks the first time since Grover Cleveland in 1892 that a former president reclaimed the White House after a non-consecutive term.
Reactions to the footage poured in across social media, with some users questioning Biden’s physical fitness and readiness to finish his remaining days in office before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. A tweet from a Republican National Committee account quipped, “Biden is currently battling the sand at his beach house in Delaware—the beach is winning.” Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers, added, “Joe Biden can’t walk on sand. This man is the President for the next 71 days.”
Concerns over Biden’s health have surfaced periodically throughout his term, amplified by occasional stumbles, verbal slips, and other moments of public confusion. In June, Biden’s debate performance led to increasing calls for him to step down from the 2024 presidential race amid questions surrounding his health. Ultimately, he withdrew, paving the way for Harris to be the Democratic nominee.
The viral footage from Sunday has intensified the ongoing public discussion about Biden’s physical and mental readiness in his final weeks as president.
