On the evening of June 15th local time, the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, appeared at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, to participate in a star-studded fundraising event.
According to the US media, Biden flew back to Los Angeles overnight from southern Italy, which shows the importance of this event to his re-election campaign. He also missed a summit in Switzerland on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict and was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 81-year-old Biden was not alone, but was accompanied by his "former leader" Barack Obama. The two accepted a 45-minute interview with host Jimmy Kimmel. They both stressed the need to defeat former President Donald Trump in what is expected to be an extremely tight race. It is reported that Biden's performance in the interview was not very successful, but he did not make any mistakes, so it was pretty good.
However, when he stood up to accept the applause and tribute from the audience, the performance of this octogenarian, who was preparing to be president for another four years, could hardly please his supporters.
Biden first waved to the audience, but for some unknown reason, he stopped. Judging from the video taken by the audience, it was like pressing the pause button, and this state lasted for a full 10 seconds until Obama took his former deputy's wrist and led him off the stage.
Some comments pointed out that without Obama by his side, who knows how long Biden would stay in place?
If Biden is an ordinary person, there is nothing wrong with this state. As he gets older, he will not be as flexible as he was when he was young. But the problem is that he is seeking re-election, which makes Americans worried. .
Moreover, Biden has "frozen" many times recently. Before appearing in Los Angeles, he also staged such a scene when he attended the G7 summit in Puglia, Italy. When the leaders of other countries looked up with interest While watching the skydiving performance, Biden moved slowly away alone, as if he had lost his way. Fortunately, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had quick eyesight and quick hands and pulled him back, thus avoiding further embarrassment.
Before attending G7, Biden also suddenly stopped in place. One second he was laughing with everyone, but the next second he lost consciousness. It was reported that he "stood still for about a minute." Fortunately, someone nearby noticed it, which relieved the embarrassment.
Although Biden's condition is unsatisfactory and worrying, it does not prevent him from raising huge amounts of campaign funds.
It is reported that this event was organized by Hollywood actor George Clooney and actresses Julia Roberts, Barbra Streisand and others. The 7,100 seats in the theater were full, although the ticket prices ranged from 250 US dollars to 500,000 US dollars. Dollars vary.
According to the Biden campaign, Hollywood stars raised more than $30 million (approximately 210 million yuan) for the president, setting a fundraising record for a Democratic candidate. Hollywood actors are said to be hoping to inspire potential supporters to get involved in the presidential campaign, which they say could be one of the most important in American history.
