In April 2024, Biden, reading from a teleprompter, incorporated instructions into the script in the middle of his speech, resulting in awkward applause. The moment happened during a part of his remarks that came out of a pre-election speech.
“I see an America where we defend democracy, not diminish it. I see an America where we protect freedoms, not take them away,” Biden said. “I see an economy growing a lot from the bottom up where the rich pay their fair share, so we can have child care, paid leave and more, and still reduce the federal deficit and increase economic growth.”
“Guys, imagine what we could do next. Four more years – hiatus,” he said before laughing.
