The clip sparked a flurry of reactions online. One X user claimed, "Joe Biden was spotted about to kiss another woman he appeared to have thought was his wife until Jill Biden stopped him." In contrast, another user argued, "No sign he was going to kiss her. He was simply talking."
Further investigation reveals that the video is several months old and was initially discussed in March. At the time, it was reported that the footage was taken during a White House event celebrating Women's History Month, where Biden also signed an executive order on women's health.
Amid this viral moment, Biden is facing mounting pressure to exit the 2024 Presidential race. The situation has been exacerbated by recent developments, including the President’s COVID-19 diagnosis, which forced him into isolation. This health setback, coupled with significant calls from prominent Democratic figures for him to step down, has fueled speculation about his future in the race.
Despite these challenges, President Biden remains resolute in his reelection bid. Close aides have assured that he remains committed and has the necessary delegate support to secure his nomination.
