Biden poses with children in pro-Trump attire in awkward photo op in swing state Pennsylvania
President Biden posed with a crowd of children decked out in pro-Donald Trump attire in an awkward photo op at a Pennsylvania firehouse on Wednesday.
The 81-year-old president looked uncomfortable as he stood in the middle of about 16 youngsters — many donning shirts in support of Trump — during a visit to a Shanksville firehouse to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The photo, shared on X by conservator influencer Benny Johnson, shows several of the kids wearing shirts with Trump’s face plastered on the front, including one with the former commander in chief in Terminator sunglasses with “I’ll be back” written on it.
One less-than-enthused teen stood far off to Biden’s left and did not crack a smile.
Biden brought beer and pizza to the firehouse following a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial for United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists and crashed in rural Pennsylvania rather than hitting its intended target after passengers stormed the cockpit.
While at the firehouse, a man handed the president his red “Trump 2024″ hat, which Biden briefly put on his head before handing it back with a grin.
Shanksville, located in Somerset County in central Pennsylvania, is a deep-red part of the battleground state where more than 77% of voters backed Trump in the 2020 election.
