Biden Responds To Question About Cali Trip At White House
As President Joe Biden boarded Air Force One on Tuesday to head to California for his official visit, speculation continued to swirl about his potential plan for the 2024 election. Despite facing mounting criticism and declining approval ratings, Biden’s team has made it clear that he is still their top choice for the next presidential election.
According to sources close to the White House, Biden is currently the apparent plan for the 2024 election, with California Governor Gavin Newsom and former First Lady Michelle Obama seen as potential backup options. However, recent reports suggest that Newsom has been positioning himself as an available candidate should Biden step down.

In a recent press conference, one reporter had the courage to ask Biden about the possibility of Newsom being Plan B. This bold move highlights the growing concern and doubt surrounding Biden’s ability to serve another term.
When asked about the potential for a Plan B, Biden offered a cryptic response, stating, “Well, I’m looking at you. We’re looking at you.” This evasive answer only adds to the speculation and uncertainty surrounding Biden’s future plans.

During the press conference, Biden also announced that he would be unveiling a major package of sanctions against Russia on Friday. However, many reporters were skeptical, as Biden has been promising to take questions and address the media after such announcements, but has failed to do so in recent weeks.
Biden was later asked about the situation in the Middle East, specifically Israel’s actions in Rafah. The White House has faced criticism for seemingly throwing Israel under the bus and pressuring them to agree to a temporary ceasefire. However, Biden refused to address this question, instead choosing to quickly move on to board the plane.
As he ascended the short stairs into Air Force One, Biden stumbled and almost took a tumble, needing to grab onto the railing to steady himself. This marked yet another public mishap for the president, further fueling concerns about his physical health and ability to serve as commander-in-chief.

Reports have revealed that extra precautions have been put in place to prevent Biden from tripping, including having a Secret Service agent stationed at the bottom of even the shortest stairs. Additionally, Biden’s footwear has been changed to prevent slipping, and he has been doing physical therapy to improve his balance and coordination.
Despite these efforts, Biden’s frequent stumbling and falling continue to make headlines, calling into question his fitness for office. Experts have even raised doubts about the supposed “proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers” he has been doing, as this is not a widely recognized term in the medical community.

As his approval ratings dip and his public gaffes become more frequent and concerning, the Biden administration faces the challenge of convincing the American public that their leader is capable and fit to serve another term. However, as Biden’s physical health and mental acuity continue to be called into question, it may be an uphill battle.
