When President Joe Biden was finished delivering his third State of the Union speech, House Judiciary ranking member Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., told the president, “no one’s going to talk about cognitive impairment now.”
“I kinda wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired,” the president replied, after an evening of pageantry, political zingers and call and response with his allies and adversaries in the joint session of Congress.
He stuck around talking with members and taking pictures well past the conclusion of the event, with the House adjourning while he was still in the center aisle, and roughly half the lights turned off in the chamber before he left.
