The Biden Administration was counting on a win —they didn’t get one.
Former President Barack Obama returned to the White House for the first time since 2017 to co-host a health care event with Joe Biden —but even the excitement of Forty-Four’s return couldn’t save a gaffe-prone Biden.
“A particular video from the evening, which is being widely shared online, shows a somewhat embarrassed Biden seemingly wandering around the room alone while Obama is crowded with people eager to speak with him,” Fox News reported.
“Literally no one wants to talk to Joe Biden,” the Republican National Committee said on Twitter, sharing an embarrassing clip from the event.
“This is so sad,” the RNC added, sharing another video of a Biden and Obama.

After the event, former President Obama tried to help Joe save face saying, “Always great catching up with @POTUS. Thanks for all you’re doing to help even more Americans get access to quality, affordable health care.”

Biden’s poll numbers are underwater as he continues to struggle with inflation, supply chain issues, gas prices, crime, and the war in Ukraine.
“An NBC News poll released on Sunday registered Biden’s approval rating at 40 percent, the lowest of his presidency in that poll. A Marist College poll released Thursday found 39 percent of Americans approve of the job Bidenis doing as president, down from 47 percent immediately after the State of the Union address at the beginning of the month,” the Hill reports.
Dems —time to worry.
