Watch: Biden struggles to walk on sandy Delaware Beach; First Lady Jill offers support

President’s Beach Walk Sparks Debate

In a video that has quickly gone viral, President Joe Biden was captured stumbling and struggling to maintain his balance while walking on a beach near his Delaware residence. The footage, taken on Sunday, November 10, shows the 81-year-old president navigating the challenging terrain of Rehoboth Beach, ultimately requiring assistance from First Lady Jill Biden.

The video showcases President Biden repeatedly losing his footing in the deep, uneven sand. After several unsteady moments, the First Lady stepped in to steady him by holding his arm. The incident occurred just a week after Vice President Kamala Harris’s electoral defeat to President-elect Donald Trump, adding a layer of political tension to the president’s beach outing.

Following the initial stumble, President Biden managed to regain his composure and approached reporters. As he increased his pace, journalists pressed him on the topics he intends to discuss with President-elect Trump during their upcoming meeting at the White House on Wednesday, November 13.

Political and public reactions

The video has ignited a flurry of concerns regarding President Biden’s physical and mental fitness, an issue that has been a point of contention since he announced his plans to seek re-election. A Republican National Committee social media account remarked, “Biden is currently battling the sand at his beach house in Delaware. The sand is winning.”

Social media backlash

The incident has also prompted a wave of reactions on social media. Criticism was directed at First Lady Jill Biden for not providing assistance sooner. One user commented, “Wouldn’t you think Jill could hold her husband’s hand or grab his arm for safety’s sake?”

Another remarked, “That’s just pathetic. Jill just doesn’t even care he’s about to eat sand at any moment.” A third added, “I would be ashamed of myself if this was my dad or husband and I didn’t just hold his hand to help him out. Everyone knows he is old and needs help, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Just help the guy.”

Upcoming White House meeting

The video’s release follows President Biden’s announcement of his intention to host President-elect Donald Trump at the White House, an event that promises to be significant in the current political landscape. As the nation watches closely, the president’s physical health remains a topic of public interest and debate.
