Biden loses track of what is happening and shouts at a press conference with the Indian Prime Minister: “Who’s next?”

President Biden was confused and lost track of events during a press conference with the Indian Prime Minister on Saturday.

The incident occurred when Biden was scheduled to introduce Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Wilmington, Delaware. Instead, he was confused and seemed to think he was waiting for a question from reporters. After an awkward pause, an announcer introduces Modi.

“I want to thank all of you for being here,” Biden said. “And who do I introduce next?”

“Who’s next?” he calls, and there is silence for several seconds.

Then a speaker interrupts and introduces Modi, who walks up to Biden and shakes his hand.

The interaction came just a day after Biden faced heavy criticism for allowing First Lady Jill Biden to chair a Cabinet meeting on Friday.

Biden convened his cabinet on Friday for the first time since October 2, 2023, and the First Lady spoke with him about the White House initiative on women's health research.

The President explained Jill Biden's presence by saying, “Here and in previous administrations, First Ladies have attended these meetings for specific reasons. This is the first time Jill has been with us, and that shows how important the issue is that she is about to speak about.”

Finally, he handed over to his wife and said, “It’s all yours, boy.”

The New York Post reported that Jill Biden, sitting at the head of the executive table in the Cabinet Room, “read for four and a half minutes from a folder on maternal health initiatives after her husband spoke for only two minutes at the beginning of the meeting.”

The President traditionally sits in the center of the table, with Cabinet members sitting in the order in which their departments were established. The last sitting First Lady to attend her husband's Cabinet meeting appears to be Hillary Clinton.

The amount of Influence of the First Lady on Joe Biden, and thus also his government, was often a source of controversy, with numerous commentators on social media criticising their presence at the meeting.

The New York Post wrote that Jill Biden “is viewed by insiders as the most influential first lady since Edith Wilson, who tightly controlled access to her husband, President Woodrow Wilson, after he suffered a severe stroke in October 1919.”
