Americans should be scared knowing this guy is calling the shots.
President Biden found himself in an awkward moment during a late-night interview on Monday, as he inadvertently shifted the conversation towards his “2020 agenda” for the upcoming 2024 election. Seth Meyers, the host, probed about Biden’s plans for the future amidst the chaotic times we live in.
In response, Biden confidently asserted his focus on completing the tasks at hand, highlighting achievements such as a robust economy with decreasing inflation and record-breaking job creation. However, his slip of referencing the “2020 agenda” for the upcoming election raised eyebrows and led to some awkward banter about his age.
Meyers asked President Biden what his 2024 agenda was. Then Biden forget what year it was entirely and responded, “Look, the 2020 agenda is to finish the job.”

During the interview, Biden took a jab at former President Trump’s age, deflecting concerns about his own mental acuity. This conversation continued as Meyers teased Biden about a report describing him as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” adding fuel to the ongoing speculation about the president’s cognitive abilities.
Meyers didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room, questioning Biden about the genuine concerns of American voters regarding his age and mental sharpness leading up to the 2024 election. Biden responded with a mix of humor and deflection, contrasting his own vitality with his opponent’s forgetfulness and emphasizing the importance of progressive ideas over antiquated ones.
The interview wasn’t solely about politics, as Biden joined Meyers at an ice cream shop afterward, adding a casual touch to the evening. There, amidst scoops of mint ice cream, Biden shared his hopes for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, offering a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of his presidential duties and concerns beyond domestic politics.
Overall, while the interview showcased Biden’s ability to engage in light-hearted banter and address serious topics, it also underscored the persistent scrutiny surrounding his age and mental acuity, which are likely to remain focal points leading up to the next election.
