Biden Defies Aides, Invites Kids On Stage

President Joe Biden defied his staff's instructions by inviting children onto the stage during a White House event honoring the 2023 National Women's Soccer League champions, Gotham FC. Biden expressed his frustration with the limitations imposed by his aides, stating, 'I thought when I got to be president, I’d get to do things that I want to do. But my staff tells me what I can’t do.' He invited young girls and boys to join him on stage, despite past criticisms from Republicans for his physical interactions with children and women at public events. The event highlighted Biden's desire to exercise his authority and connect personally with the youth, even as he faces scrutiny over his personal conduct and mental acuity.
