US President Joe Biden appeared confused while on stage at an event in New York. The President was giving a speech at the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment Conference on Wednesday. A video from the event shows Biden wandering on the stage, and even murmuring something while looking towards the audience, which was not audible. He stops to look at the speaker who is thanking him, and then he turns and leaves. The US President can be seen looking a bit bewildered in the footage. At the end of the video, he walks towards the edge of the stage and stands there.
The video was tweeted with the caption, “Where ya going, Big Guy?”.

The video left people shocked, with many speculating about the health of the 79-year-old world leader. Some stated that the US President could be having difficulties due to the bright lights on stage.
Others took the incident in a lighter vein, with some joking that Biden was waiting to be called for the photoshoot. “The whole video looks quite a bit different. He’s so much sharper than 45 ever was. At the end he apparently thought he was done, but then had to linger there until they called him and the others back up for a photo,” wrote one account.
Some people turned this clip into a meme. P towards how the President was talking to someone not visible in the frame, one individual shared an edited video with the caption “Joe Biden meets John Cena at the Global Fund Conference.”
An account sarcastically wrote that the President is the living embodiment of present day society.
However, others came out in defence of Biden and slammed the account for spreading lies. People stated that the leader was talking to someone present.
The event was held to raise funds to counter AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment Conference raised $14.25 billion, which is the highest ever pledged amount for a multilateral health organisation.
