President Biden is facing yet more mockery, this time for praising Pennsylvania voters for helping him get “across the line” when he was running for a Senate seat in Delaware.
The 81-year-old president, who represented Delaware for 36 years, made the remarks during a campaign stop in Philadelphia on Sunday as he scrambled to get his re-election campaign back on track following his disastrous debate performance.
“Look, even when I was running for Senate, and each time I ran — quite frankly not a joke — Philadelphia, in particular, got me across the line,” Biden declared.
As the crowd of Philly voters applauded, the commander-in-chief doubled down on his statement.
“No, I’m not joking,” he said. “I mean it seriously, organizationally and in terms of fundraising, the whole deal.”
It wasn’t immediately clear exactly what Biden was referring to with his “whole deal” remark and he didn’t elaborate further.
