During a speech at the White House, US President Biden called out the name of a congressman who had recently passed away and asked where he was.
In April, after the speech was over, a scene of shaking hands in the air was also caught, but again, there are rumors of health abnormalities.

U.S. President Biden arrives at the podium after a meeting on hunger and nutrition at the White House.
When he called for bipartisan support for the policy, he named several lawmakers and looked around looking for one of them.
[Biden/President of the United States: Thank you to everyone who came here.
Senator Brown, Senator Booker, Congressman Jackie, Congressman Jackie from both parties here?
Where is Jackie?
I think I'm here.]
But Congressman Jackie Wallersky, who Biden visited, died in a car accident last month.
At the time, President Biden also issued a statement of condolences.
He had been looking for such a member at the event.
After the speech, the White House press secretary came to a briefing, sweating hard to explain.
[Carine Jean-Pierre / White House Press: President Biden was due to meet with the family of Congressman Jackie in two days, so she was on her mind.
I mean, I think it's not that weird.]
[White House Correspondent: I mean John Lennon is always at the top of my mind, but I don't find him anywhere.]
[Carinne Jean-Pierre/White House Spokesperson: This means that when you're president, you're going to have a bill for John Lennon. Let's do it again when we sign.]
In April, a scene of President Biden shaking hands in the air immediately after his speech was captured, raising the suspicion of dementia.
With another happening a month before the midterm elections, rumors about President Biden's health are amplifying again.
