January 1, WATCH: Biden Grabs Reporter’s Hand in Bizarre Interaction

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1848: Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ends the Mexican–American War. The U.S. acquires Texas, California, New Mexico, and Arizona for $15 million.

President Joe Biden awkwardly grabbed a reporter’s hand and squeezed under her umbrella after being asked about his recent decision to end the federal COVID-19 emergency.

The up-close-and-personal interaction came Tuesday afternoon, shortly before the 80-year-old president departed the White House for a trip to New York City.

As Biden was approaching the Marine One helicopter, NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Kristen Welker asked: “What’s behind your decision to end the COVID emergency?”

Welker was referring to an announcement made on Monday, wherein Biden said that his administration was ending the public health emergency declaration that the Trump administration put in place at the start of the pandemic.

At that point, Biden approached Welker, grabbed her hand, and pulled her umbrella towards him. He asked her to repeat the question, as it was drowned out by noise from the helicopter.

“What’s behind your decision to end the COVID emergency?” Welker repeated.

“The COVID emergency will end when the Supreme Court ends it,” Biden answered. “We’ve extended it to May the 15th to make sure we get everything done. That’s all. There’s nothing behind it at all.”

He continued to address other reporters that shouted questions, keeping his hand firmly on top of Welker’s hand.

    What’s bizarre is the idea that it is the Supreme Court that makes the decision to end the emergency

      Yes, I agree. A bit surprising. I thought the CDC would make that call since they made the initial call.

      One must ask, what was the expectation of those who voted for a sock puppet of man with the mental capacity of a carpet beetle and the spine of a jellyfish?

    Just when you think this man has done everything stupid that you can imagine, he comes up with something else.

      James Jacobs, So Biden held the top of her hand to keep the umbrella straight. So what is the big deal? I bet you never said a word when Trump said that he grabbed women by the p—-. Wow, what hypocrisy.

        So, you think Biden had to walk up to someone, and put his hand on their hand to help them keep their umbrella straight….??? It’s truly amazing the bizarre things Biden supporters come up with in order to excuse the things he does that are clearly signs of senility, dementia, and diminishing mental capacity…. rationalizing the irrational seems to be name of the game here, out of sheer desperation not to admit what the man does is irrational, shows diminishing capacity, and to excuse everything he does with any lie that will do…. none of it actually absolving Biden of anything, and every lame excuse showing the extent of the derangement that has gotten ahold of you… including trying to bring Trump into the issue where it makes no sense to do so, other than to expose just how determined you are to deflect and try to get out of the corner the ridiculous excuses you try to make up themselves put you into….

    2 things most of you know I can’t stand FJB It didn’t appear that he was doing anything but trying to stay out of the rain…….. on the surface, but if you read between the lines Joey was sending a clear message, don’t f**k with me!

      I remember seeing when the SS or the stationed Marine would hold an umbrella for the President. I’d guess this president isn’t worth the effort. Frankly, I’m surprised this guy is smart enough to get out of the rain.

    Seems like the media is making a big deal of this. He was simply trying to get out of the rain.

    It’s close to Valentine’s Day so he felt a bit of DO checking was in order. Or maybe her hands are softer than DOCTOR Jill’s .
