President Joe Biden made headlines again on Monday when he cast his vote in Wilmington, Delaware, raising eyebrows with his somewhat unconventional voting stunt. While he did his civic duty and presumably voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, he also made it very clear that he preferred to observe rather than participate in her subsequent speech. Biden staunchly declared that attendance was unnecessary because “it’s for her,” which underscores just how special he thinks the night is—especially for everyone else involved.
However, the voting process itself was anything but ordinary. Reports indicated that Biden was spotted gripping the handles of a woman’s wheelchair, a situation that has led to various interpretations about his mobility, or lack thereof. It appeared as if he was navigating the voting booth with the grace of a toddler in a candy store—lost and bewildered while the line of voters patiently awaited his crystal-clear decision-making. If the process was reminiscent of a comedy sketch, then Biden was the star, looking like he needed GPS to find his way out of the voting booth.
The supposed early voting also highlighted the common sense measure of providing voter ID and a signature—a concept seemingly alien to some Democrats who regularly cry foul at any mention of election integrity. Biden’s experience, with all the chaos encapsulated in a single voting session, served as unintentional irony. Here he was, a prominent figure in a party that fights tooth and nail against voter ID laws, obediently submitting to the very process they deride. One can’t help but chuckle at the image of the President showing his voter ID while jeering Democrats were busy banshee-ing about voter suppression elsewhere.
Town Hall: Biden May Have Voted for Harris, but Don't Expect Him to Attend Her 'Closing Argument' Speech https://t.co/pdp1ykj4Fx

Biden’s excuses seemed to carry even more weight as he was later spotted enjoying ice cream in Baltimore—this was not just a snack break; it was clear he was savoring the freedom of not heading to Harris’ event. When pressed about his expectations for her speech, Biden cleverly sidestepped, diverting reporters’ questions by promising to “let you hear it first,” as if his audience wasn’t fully aware that they were likely to hear the typical Democratic talking points—mantras about threats to democracy and comparisons of Trump supporters to Nazis. All the while, he entertained the notion that his absence was somehow the highlight of the evening.
As Harris prepared to deliver her “closing argument” speech, the optics were hard to ignore. In stark contrast to the outrage expressed in 2020 when Trump held the RNC at the White House—prompting a widespread freakout from the Left—Harris stood poised with the White House as her backdrop. Hypocrisy reigned supreme, showcasing that when it comes to political theater, double standards are standard procedure. If anyone dared to call out the inconsistency, one could almost hear the crickets chirping in response from the people who so vocally protested during Trump’s era.
In summary, Biden’s vote was less a symbol of democracy and more a macabre comedy of errors. With Harris poised to deliver potentially overwrought speeches about her favorite topics amid the splendor of a White House backdrop, it will be fascinating to see how these two navigate the political landscape together—especially when one seems to prefer ice cream to public appearances. As the Democrats march forward, it becomes clearer that they’re not just battling for votes; they’re fighting past their own absurdities and contradictions to maintain any semblance of coherence in their narrative.
