Meyers then asked, “Now, my recent favorite is that 18% of Americans, according to a recent poll, believe that you and Taylor Swift are working in cahoots. And after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, did you posted this on social media you wrote, “Just as we drew it.” Now, can you… I’ve got you in the hot seat here. Can you confirm or deny that there is an active conspiracy between you and Ms. Swift?”
Biden responded: “Where do you get this information?
Meyers asked if Biden would share the information with him, and the president said, “It’s confidential,” but pointed out that Swift endorsed him in 2020.
President Biden was having fun celebrating the 10th anniversary of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Biden was a guest on the Meyers’ first episode, then returned to celebrate the show’s anniversary.
The President didn’t look old or weak or any of the other terms the political press likes to use when talking about his age.
Biden was sharp and funny, and if this was a way to reach younger voters, it probably would have succeeded.
