In a recent viral video shared by Dom Lucre, President Joe Biden is seen standing serenely during a Juneteenth event, drawing attention amidst the lively atmosphere. While others, including Vice President Kamala Harris, engage in dance and celebration, Biden remains still.
The footage captures a moment where the President appears motionless for over 20 seconds, prompting Philonise Floyd, brother of George Floyd, to offer a supportive arm around Biden’s shoulder. This poignant gesture underscores the significance of the event and the unity within the community.
The incident precedes Biden’s speech at the event, during which some observers noted a slight slur in his words. This serene moment amidst the festivities highlights the diverse reactions and interpretations surrounding the President’s public appearances.

Wall Street Journal Report Sparks Debate Over Joe Biden’s Cognitive Health Amid Juneteenth Celebration
Recently, the Wall Street Journal released a controversial report alleging a noticeable cognitive decline in President Biden, igniting a heated debate among high-ranking officials. While the White House staunchly defends the 81-year-old leader, citing his unwavering leadership, critics highlight the predominantly Republican sources in the Journal’s report.
The spotlight on Biden’s age intensifies as he contemplates a potential second term, potentially extending his presidency into his mid-80s. Despite assertions from the White House affirming his cognitive abilities, questions linger, particularly as Biden assures the public that his memory remains intact.
Amidst these discussions, the White House embraced the upcoming Juneteenth holiday with a vibrant celebration on June 19, featuring performances by music legends Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. Against this backdrop, President Biden issued a cautionary message, warning of persistent challenges facing Black Americans, subtly addressing his Republican adversaries who seek to impose restrictions on voting rights.
As the political landscape heats up in anticipation of the next presidential election, the significance of Black voters cannot be overstated. Biden’s strong support among Black voters in the previous election, according to AP VoteCast, underscores their pivotal role in shaping electoral outcomes. However, with former President Donald Trump positioning himself as the presumptive Republican nominee and claiming increased support from Black voters, the dynamics of political allegiance are subject to scrutiny. As the nation watches, even slight shifts in voting patterns or turnout rates could sway the outcome of the November election.

At the Juneteenth concert, things got a bit political. Roy Wood Jr., who’s known for his comedy and acting, was hosting, and he didn’t shy away from talking about some of the good things the Biden team has done, like putting a cap on insulin prices and helping out with student debt.
And hey, did you know that just last year, Biden made Juneteenth an official federal holiday? It’s a day to remember what happened back in 1865 when the last enslaved folks in the U.S. found out they were finally free. That was more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War, which set slaves in the Confederacy on the path to freedom.
