First Lady Jill Biden had to come to the aid of her husband during yet another troubling moment of public confusion.
The first lady was forced to rescue Democrat President Joe Biden after he appeared to “zone out” and enter into a state of confusion following one of his recent speeches.
The incident, according to The Daily Mail, took place on Friday, Jan. 5, 2024.
President Biden gave a speech in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania after returning from a 13-day vacation.
The incident occurred just after Biden concluded his speech.
As you will see, the first lady may have rescued her husband from the stage, but she did not rescue him from the confusion.
Biden seemed to still be confused when he was caught on camera later that day.
The above video captures the entire incident.
It picks up just at the end of the speech when Jill Biden is seen rushing up onto the stage and embracing her husband.
As they embrace, it appears that Jill Biden whispers something into her husband’s ear.
Whatever she said, however, was not picked up by the cameras.
After the embrace, the first lady attempts to lead her husband off of the stage, but Biden begins talking into the microphones – even though his exit music was already being blasted into the loudspeakers.
He then blurts out: “I understand power!”
After that, Jill Biden was finally able to take her husband by the hand and lead him off of the stage.

This was Dementia Hitler last night in Valley Forge, PA. He stood at the podium dazed and confused, and needed rescuing by mama Jill. She gives him the reassuring hug and escorts him offstage.

One question that you may be asking yourself is why was it necessary for the first lady to rush up onto the stage, grab the hand of her husband – supposedly the most powerful man in the world – and lead him off the stage.
It is a question that requires some speculation to answer, so you will have to draw your own conclusions.
It is, however, worth pointing out that there are many concerns about the 81-year-old Biden’s mental fitness, and he has frequently had trouble exiting the stage after speeches.
With that being said, this, perhaps, is how the White House has decided to solve this problem – by having the first lady lead the president off of the stage.
Both President Biden and the first lady were mocked on social media for the incident.
RNC Research’s Jake Schneider, for example, wrote, “She’s walking him off the stage like a child.”
Unfortunately for Biden, the situation did not end there.
Later that day, he and the first lady were caught exiting the presidential helicopter, and Biden still appeared to be in a state of confusion.
