During the campaign speech of a surrogate speaker on Thursday, President Joe Biden abruptly exited the stage, leaving attendees in a state of bewilderment.
This week Joe Biden made the trip to Arizona to reveal that ‘Intel,’ a leading semiconductor manufacturer, will receive a significant financial boost as a part of a groundbreaking industrial initiative.
The move aims to bolster Biden’s chances for reelection by visiting the swing state. However, today’s rally showcased the President wandering off mid-sentence after his attention was captured by a baby in the audience.
“Well, folks, I have to tell you straight up I like you all, but I couldn’t resist that little baby,” Biden remarked, as he walked back to the podium.
WATCH:
There have been multiple instances throughout Joe Biden’s public life where his interactions with children have attracted criticism, often due to his tactile approach.
People have pointed to moments captured during public events or even ceremonies where Biden’s gestures—such as long hugs, touches, and whispers—towards children and adults alike were uncomfortable and or inappropriate.

He was disappointed when he got all the way over there and it was a little boy.
Still didn’t stop him from whispering the age old ped0 question – How old is he?
