'He can’t find his way': Joe Biden trolled for being led offstage by Jill Biden after January 6 remarks
VALLEY FORGE, PENNSYLVANIA: Numerous users of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, were amused at a video clip of President Joe Biden being led offstage by his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, following his remarks on the anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol building riot.
The 81-year-old incumbent launched his re-election campaign in Pennsylvania on Friday, January 5, by slamming his predecessor Donald Trump and calling him a “loser".

Despite the hullabaloo regarding his electability amid dismal polling numbers, Biden's 30-minute speech was supported by a rapturous crowd in Valley Forge, near George Washington's 1777–1778 winter encampment, outside of Philadelphia.
What did the viral video entail?
Per the New York Post, the video clip shared by RNC Research's X account, showed the First Lady walking up to the stage immediately after the President's speech and taking his hand to lead him to the back of the stage, where they disappeared behind the American flags on display.
The account uploaded the video clip with the caption: “Jill, Ed.D., escorts Biden off the stage following his remarks.”

Many users found it amusing that the White House staff allowed Jill Biden to take over and lead the President away from the podium before he could make any awkward hesitations on-camera or walk in the wrong direction of the stage in confusion.
President Biden's physical and mental health have been questioned recently, raising concerns about his ability to perform his duties as Commander-in-Chief due to his age.
This has sparked a debate in an important election year as the country prepares to vote for its next President in November.
