Biden Needs Assistance to Put On T-Shirt During UAW Event

President Joe Biden’s age is becoming increasingly problematic for a growing number of voters, and the recent viral video online on Thursday has not helped him.

He had visited an automotive plant in Belvidere, Illinois belonging to Stellantis, a European consortium that holds Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Truck brands.

This visit happened after the United Autoworkers Union achieved a successful end to their strike with the automaker.

“Something you don’t know: My state of Delaware — a little state — because we’ve got a small population, had the highest percentage of UAW workers in the United States of America. We had the largest GM plant. We had the largest Chrysler plant outside of Detroit. And we had a lot of shipping as well,” Biden told the crowd, according to videos posted online.

“But here’s the deal, I got raised on automobiles. My dad ran an auto — he didn’t own it; he ran an automobile agency for a long time,” he added.

But it was a moment before Biden began his speech that was more noteworthy, per The Western Journal:

Biden came out on stage, a union representative presented him with a shirt meant to express solidarity with the workers in Belivedere (and everywhere, one presumes). Of course he had to wear it on the spot; not to do so would be a political faux pas of epic proportions. However, the faux pas may have been union management exposing just how fragile their horse in the 2024 presidential race really is.

He has to be helped when putting on a T-shirt, which is so seldom a good look — as the Republican National Committee’s RNC Research social media account noted.

X platform users tore into him about the incident.

“Jill wasn’t there to dress him? Big mistake WH staffers. But you’re all busy with your protests on company time so we understand,” said one.

“Dressing grandpa up on stage, while on camera [sigh],” another wrote.

“This is what dressing your patient in elder care looks like,” said another.

“Democrats: ‘that’s our guy,’” another remarked.

“Who helps him with his Depends?” asked another user.

At 80 years of age, Joe Biden’s age has become an increasing concern among members of his party and voters. Last week, David Axelrod — a longtime Democratic strategist and operative who helped Barack Obama win two terms — made a plea for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race following the release of a New York Times/Siena College poll which showed Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in five out of six critical swing states, with only a 2-point lead over Trump in the sixth battleground state.

“Only Joe Biden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,” Axelrod noted on the X platform. “What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

“It’s very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden’s team says his resolve to run is firm. He’s defied CW before but this will send tremors of doubt thru the party–not ‘bed-wetting,’ but legitimate concern,” Axelrod added, citing “conventional wisdom” in another post with a graphic of the polling data.
