United States President Joe Biden was at the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France where he was there to commemorate our fallen and living soldiers of World War II. During the event, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, leans forward after shaking Emmanuel Macron's hand. Emmanuel Macron—the Prime Minister of France—and Jill Biden continue to please the crowd as Joe Biden leans forward stiffly which has garnered attention. Humorously, commenters on social media are referring to the event as #ShitGate2024, or simply 'Shitgate'.
At the D-Day Ceremony—after sharing a handshake with Emmanuel Macron—Joe Biden leaned forward stiffly. It seemed he could not move and was trembling for moments, which concerned many people. He regained his composure and stood upright again, however, after his time on stage, he was whisked away by Jill Biden, his wife. Speculators have made their comments on the events.
As ShitGate2024 is underway, the media quickly shares their interpretations of events. Republicans and conservatives have taken the moment to jab at the president after previous 'accidents' that Joe Biden has had. Previously, Joe Biden was rumored to have soiled his pants at the Vatican when meeting with Pope Francis, although no official statement has been made confirming this event. Democrats have been mum on the story but may release more context. There is no official declaration on whether he soiled himself (at this time).
As the 2024 Presidential election draws near, situations like "ShitGate2024" will be more common as there will be more rumors and claims coming from all sides about Joe Biden and Donald Trump. As far as Shitgate is concerned, Joe Biden would need to appear more strong at public events to avoid any claims against his ability to lead or negative views about this health.
