Joe Biden’s energetic delivery of the State of the Union address on Thursday evening sparked rumors that the 81-year-old had been administered stimulant medications like Adderall to bolster his performance.
These speculations were fueled further by a retweet on social media by a high-ranking White House official.
During Biden’s speech, a comment posted by New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi was retweeted by White House Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskend, “I guess there’s no adderall shortage at the White House.”

Earlier Thursday, Politico’s Laura Egan reported the White House said Biden was loading up on carbs for the speech:
“It’s a big night for President Joe Biden. And in preparation for his speech, he carbo loaded. Biden served chicken parm at the lunch he hosted with TV anchors this afternoon at the White House, according to a White House aide. No word yet on what he had for dinner. But that official said he typically goes for pasta on game days.”
According to Drugs.com, the effects of Adderall last four to six hours:
“When taken as prescribed, the effects of Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) last for about 4 to 6 hours. The effects of Adderall XR last for up to 12 hours because this form of Adderall has been designed to release its contents slowly, over a longer period of time (this is called a sustained release preparation).”
Biden departed the White House later than scheduled for his 9 p.m. speech, arriving at the Capitol 16 minutes behind. He spent an extended period in the House chamber and corridors conversing with various individuals after the speech.
Despite House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) adjourning the session, Biden continued to engage with others on the floor, as noted by PBS reporter Lisa Desjardins.
Speaker Johnson adjourned the House even as POTUS was still here. Lights now going off as POTUS still in the center aisle.
This is highly unusual/not normal. (Someone correct me if wrong.)

On Friday, Biden appeared slightly worse for wear when a reporter questioned him about using the term “illegal” to refer to the accused killer of Laken Riley, causing him to short circuit.
“Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night?”
