A new, attention-grabbing video of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden has emerged and spread rapidly online, coinciding with mounting pressure from Democratic lawmakers and commentators for him to withdraw from the next election.
The footage captures the president engaging with a blonde woman in a blue dress at an event, seemingly leaning in for a kiss before being redirected by Jill Biden, who then guides him away.
The woman bears a strong resemblance to the first lady, prompting speculation that Joe Biden may have mistaken her for his wife.
“The incident has reignited chatter on social media about the mental acuity concerns about the US president,” News18 reported.

The response to the social media reactions has been mixed, with some users finding amusement in what they view as a harmless error, while others express concern about its implications for a sitting U.S. president, according to the outlet.
Amid pressure for Joe Biden to drop his re-election bid, a poll suggests that Democrats believe Vice President Kamala Harris would make a good president, despite consistently lower approval ratings than the president throughout their term.
A recent AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll indicates that over 60% of Democrats think Kamala Harris would be a suitable president. Around 20% of Democrats disagreed, and an additional 20% stated they don’t know enough to comment.
However, during an hour-long live stream on her Instagram account this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mentioned that in reality, most members of her party don’t want either Biden or Harris on the ticket.
“I’m going to say what a lot of these people aren’t saying. If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave, that they will support Kamala, that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” she said.
“I’m gonna say, what a lot of these folks aren’t saying. I’m just gonna say it. If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave, that they will support Kamala – Vice President Harris – you would be mistaken… I’m gonna be honest for them. I’m in these rooms. I see what they say in conversations. A lot of them are not just interested in removing the President. They are interested in removing the whole ticket,” she added.

During his broadcast on Thursday, CNN’s Jim Acosta reported that Biden campaign officials are characterizing the situation as “bleak” in light of calls from Democratic leaders such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for Biden to suspend his campaign before the Democratic National Convention next month.
“We begin the hour with Donald Trump‘s seizing the spotlight at the Republican convention while President Biden is grappling with calls to exit the race for the White House,” Acosta said. “Right now, the president is isolating at his house and Delaware after his COVID diagnosis. Pressure is mounting on him this morning to step aside in favor of another democratic candidate to face Trump in November.
“A senior Biden official told me things are looking bleak inside the campaign after reports surfaced that top Democratic lawmakers are leaning on the president to get out of the race. A separate source close to the president told me Biden is, quote, listening, but the source added that the president feels like he is legally the nominee of the party after winning the democratic primary,” Acosta added. “Still, another top DNC official said it seems more and more like a change could happen on the ticket.”
