President Joe Biden appeared confused at a Los Angeles event when asked about his reelection.
Though the audio is hard to hear, a reporter asked Biden at an event about his upcoming State of the Union address and about his reelection. Biden froze and looked puzzled, before being rescued by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
“He’s gonna win reelection anyway,” Bass said to cheers.
The reporters were then shuffled out of the room.
