During a visit to a coffee shop in Pennsylvania on January 12, 2024, President Joe Biden made a remark that has since sparked commentary and confusion. Biden stated, "My name's Joe Biden. I work for the government in the Senate." This statement led to a flurry of reactions questioning whether Biden had forgotten that he is the president. However, the clip that went viral on the Right was misleading; Biden was with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator Bob Casey and was jokingly saying, “I work for the Governor and the Senator.” The incident occurred while Biden was visiting several small businesses in the Allentown area to highlight the economic recovery under his administration, an initiative referred to as 'Bidenomics'.
This clip, now going viral on the Right, is a lie. Biden is with Josh Shapiro and Bob Casey. He is jokingly saying, “I work for the Governor and the Senator.” https://t.co/a9vNGNddla
