Biden's humanitarian position with a child reminded him of a problem he suffered in childhood.. Video

With simple words of encouragement, US President Joe Biden tried to pull a little girl to overcome a problem that he was also suffering from as a child.

Biden was on Thanksgiving vacation in Massachusetts when he met the girl named Avery and told her she could beat her "stuttering" problem if she insisted.

Avery is a relative of Rufus Gifford, a prominent Democrat who is awaiting confirmation as chief of protocol at the State Department.

Gifford posted a clip of Biden telling her, "I promise you, the problem will go away." She hugged him with a smile and said to him: "Thank you, Mr. President."

Commenting on the video, Gifford says: "My adorable niece/sister Avery has struggled with a lot of stuttering in her life. A guy who knows so little about it just told her she could be anything she wanted in this world. This is a day she'll never forget."

Gifford served as Deputy Director of Biden's 2020 election campaign, was a senior adviser to Barack Obama's re-election campaign, and served in the Obama administration for several years, including as ambassador to the states in Denmark.

Biden was a subject of ridicule in his childhood school because of his stuttering problem, and then he overcame it by reading poetry out loud in front of the mirror.

At a CNN forum last year, Biden described how he prepared his speeches in such a way that he could take breaks between words to help overcome the problem.

My amazing niece and goddaughter Avery has struggled with a stutter much of her life.



She was just told by a guy who knows a little something about it that she can be anything she wants to in this world.



A day she will never ever forget.



Thank you sir.
