Biden Stumbles Through Speech At Black-Tie
Biden Appears Unsteady at Gala Amid Health Concerns
Former President Joe Biden, 82, showed signs of confusion and slurred speech at the National Bar Association’s gala Thursday night in Chicago.
According to the New York Post, “Biden was directed back to his place by others on the dais and slowly slouched into his chair before flashing a smile and pointing finger guns at the crowd.”
Address Focuses on Civil Rights
In his 20-minute speech, Biden criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of minority communities and said, “These are dark days… our future is literally on the line.”
Health in the Spotlight
Biden revealed in May that he’s battling Stage 4 prostate cancer. Former White House doctor Ronny Jackson said, “It could be 12 to 18 months,” though he hopes treatment is effective.
Legacy and Humor
Receiving the NBA’s highest honor, Biden joked, “It’s hell turning 40 twice,” referencing his age as both the youngest senator and oldest president.
