President Biden doesn’t do many one-on-one interviews but the White House press team must have figured MSNBC would be a safe bet, especially with Jonathan Capehart asking the questions. However, during this particular chat even the interviewer seemed alarmed by Biden’s long pause while answering a question about running for re-election:
Joe Biden seems to legit fall asleep during this interview. He just keeps getting worse: pic.twitter.com/4quPIC9fbJ

Scary clip
BIDEN: "It's my intention to run again."
MSNBC: "Dr. Biden is for it?"
BIDEN: crickets
MSNBC: "Mr. President?"
BIDEN: "Dr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, that I uh, that, that we're, that we're doing something very important."pic.twitter.com/lPVyEi2kv3

We can’t help but wonder if MSNBC made any edits to shorten the time Biden appeared to do some daydreaming.

If that had been Trump the cries from the Left of “25th Amendment” would have been loud and immediate.
Was he dozing off? Wtf was that?
I think some of these clips get a little over the top, but this one was one of the worst I’ve seen. Even the reporter was like “uh wth are you doing?”

Based on the interviewer’s reaction Biden’s pause time might have even been longer.
Looking forward to the fact checkers trying to explain this one. https://t.co/XXyzxra7p8

The “fact-checkers” are too busy putting everything Trump says under the microscope to focus on Biden.
I’m shocked that MSDNC would release this footage.

You can hear the “oop” from the interviewer! 🤣🤪

That’s anybody’s guess. What do you think?
In fairness, maybe Biden drifted off after being bored by so many softball questions like this one:
.@CapehartJ: Can our democracy survive when the Republican Party…only cares about power?
Biden: One of the reasons there’s not more mainstream Republicans running out there is because they're so concerned about not only their physical well-being, but also…how can they win. pic.twitter.com/2IFx2hFVgW

Fortunately the Democrats do not care about staying in power (cue mother of all eye rolls).
