Biden’s chronic tardiness has reached the level where Fox News is starting to keep track.

From June 1 through the second week of October, Biden averaged being 22.4 minutes late for public events, stretching that to 34 minutes in August during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

During his news conference in Rome, Biden also offered the comment that the media has been a prime doubter of his legislative agenda.

“You know, you’ve all believed it wouldn’t happen from the very beginning, the moment I announced it, and you always seem amazed when it’s alive again. Well, you may turn out to be right; maybe it won’t work. But I believe we’ll see by the end of next week, at home, that it’s passed,” he said, according to a White House transcript.

“hen the cost of a gallon of gasoline gets to above three hundred and — three hundred — $3.35 a gallon, it has profound impact on working-class families just to get back and forth to work,” he said.

The national average price of a gallon of gasoline currently stands at $3.402, according to AAA.
