President Joe Biden’s team bumped his scheduled “Big Boy” news conference to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, immediately prompting users to flood X — formerly Twitter — with possible reasons for the delay.
A number suggested that the move had been made in order to accommodate an afternoon nap in the hopes that Biden would be sharper than usual — and others cautioned that even that was a risk, since the later the news conference went, the closer it would get to the president’s bedtime.
“BIDEN’s presser tonight is now 6:30p,” Jake Sherman announced, and the replies poured in.
Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins commented, “Gotta say, I love the move. Very strategic, and smart to give himself a hard out at 6:45 with an excuse that people will believe: it’s bed time.”
