Late Night Hosts Turn on Joe Biden, Relentlessly Mock President

President Joe Biden has been mocked by late night TV hosts for his latest gaffe and his poor approval rating.

Joe Biden delivered a speech from the White House Rose Garden after testing negative for COVID yesterday. However, his mispronunciation of the antiviral medicine to treat COVID, Paxlovid, has resulted in ridicule.

During his show on Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon had a shorter bit mocking the president.

After playing Biden’s blunder, Fallon looked confused at the camera before mockingly saying “welcome back, Mr president, welcome back.”

Poor Approval Rating

On the same Wednesday night show, Colbert also mocked Biden for his poor approval rating.

According to a recent CNN poll, 75 percent of Democrat and Democratic-leaning voters want to see the Democrats nominate a candidate other than Biden for the 2024 presidential election.

Twenty-four percent of respondents who said they were Democrats or Democratic-leaning voters said they thought the party should seek another nominee because they don’t think Biden can win in 2024.

That is an increase from polling in January and February, when 18 percent of respondents said they thought Biden couldn’t win a second term.
