Biden Gives Puzzling Answer As To Why He Was Late To Press Conference

President Joe Biden apologized for showing up late to his press conference in Rome on Sunday following a two-day meeting with world leaders about climate change.

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.
