President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 into law on Tuesday at the White House. His actions during the event left viewers bewildered.
The White House posted video of the full event on Twitter, including remarks from Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
In one clip, Schumer shook hands with Biden before doing the same with other colleagues.
Just four seconds after shaking hands with Schumer, Biden put his hand out again. He appeared confused, as if he did not remember he had just shaken hands with Schumer.
Of course, it’s impossible to know whether Biden truly forgot he had already shaken hands with Schumer. It is possible he was confused as to whether he was expected to shake Schumer’s hand a second time.
In any case, Biden seemed visibly confused by what should have been a routine greeting. That is not a good look for the president of the United States.
Biden has been questioned for his bizarre handshake rituals in the past. Following an April 14 speech at North Carolina A&T State University, Biden appeared to try to shake hands with thin air.
