US President Joe Biden’s comment about “doing 9/11” has stirred up a storm on social media, with users poking fun at the 81-year-old commander-in-chief. During a discussion about his schedule following the upcoming Presidential debate, Biden mentioned that after watching Vice President Kamala Harris take on Donald Trump in Philadelphia, he would be commemorating the September 11 attacks the next day.
In the video clip that has since gone viral, Biden said, “I’ll be doing 9/11 tomorrow,” which many interpreted as an unfortunate phrasing given the context. He clarified that he would be participating in events across New York and Pennsylvania to mark the 23rd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

The White House announced that Biden and Harris will jointly honor the victims of September 11 by visiting key memorials including Ground Zero in New York, the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
Biden had also noted his plans to celebrate his granddaughter Finnegan’s birthday and catch the debate between Harris and Trump in New York on the night of the debate. Despite the social media backlash over his wording, Biden expressed confidence in Harris’s preparedness for her upcoming debate, remarking that she appeared “calm, cool, and collected” during their recent chat.
