Biden appears “lost” on stage at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center amid renewed criticism of his health

In a new embarrassing situation that was highlighted by the cameras, former US President Joe Biden appeared as if he was lost on the stage at the conclusion of the opening ceremony of the “Obama Presidential Center” in Chicago yesterday, Thursday, which brought back the spotlight on his health condition amid harsh criticism of his previous political decisions.

According to Fox News, video clips documented Biden taking his steps back towards the stage after the end of the ceremony, where he lowered his sunglasses and began to stare at the crowd in a state of confusion, after his wife, Jill Biden, and former President Barack Obama left the stage and left him behind. Biden was heard shouting loudly, asking: “Where is my granddaughter?”, while a source explained to Fox News that the former president was trying to find his granddaughter in the audience.

This position came at the end of a massive ceremony attended by a group of prominent political figures, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, along with Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harsh criticism from Hillary Clinton

This scene reopened the discussion about the health of the 83-year-old Biden, who currently suffers from stage 4 prostate cancer (which has spread to the bones). This coincided with harsh statements made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this week, in which she described Biden’s decision to seek a second term in the 2024 elections as a “terrible mistake” and “a horrific miscalculation.”

Clinton considered that the Democratic Party would have been in a better position, and that any other Democratic candidate would have been able to defeat Donald Trump if the opportunity had been provided for a competitive primary process before the elections.

Medical concerns are unfolding one by one

Revelations continue about Biden’s health condition, as his wife, Jill Biden, recently indicated in her memoirs that she feared he would suffer a stroke during his disastrous debate with Trump in June 2024, hinting that he should not have continued in the presidential race at that time.

It is noteworthy that the former president is still waging a legal battle with the Department of Justice to prevent the publication of audio recordings of his interviews with private investigator Robert Hoare, who sparked widespread controversy when he described Biden in his report as “a well-intentioned elderly man with a weak memory,” a description that formed a fulcrum in the controversy over his mental competency.
