During Friday’s press conference, Joe Biden’s extended moments of silence caught the attention of both journalists and viewers alike. As reporters eagerly awaited responses to probing questions, the President appeared lost in thought, refusing to say anything.
What unfolded was an unexplained pause, lasting nearly a minute, leaving the press corps in a state of frustration.

Critics have long argued that Biden’s inability to promptly address inquiries raises concerns about his mental fitness and ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the presidency effectively.
Questions regarding pressing issues such as the economy, foreign policy, and domestic challenges remained unanswered, amplifying doubts about the current administration’s transparency and communication practices.
This disconcerting incident follows a series of similar instances where Biden seemed detached or disconnected during public appearances, prompting further scrutiny.
The silence exhibited by Biden stands in stark contrast to the dynamic and energetic demeanor often associated with his predecessors, such as Trump.
Out of all the presidents in modern American history, Biden has done the fewest presidential news conferences.
