President Joe Biden’s playful antics at the White House Halloween party turned heads this week, as videos showed him pretending to “bite” several babies in costume. The White House transformed the South Lawn into a Halloween wonderland for local families, students, and military families, with Biden joining in the fun, greeting children, distributing candy, and engaging with toddlers dressed in festive costumes.
One baby dressed as a turkey got the President’s playful nibble on their leg, while another dressed as an ice cream cone received similar attention with a toe nibble. First Lady Jill Biden, dressed as a panda, handed out copies of the children’s book 10 Spooky Pumpkins to attendees, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
Social media was quick to react, with conservative commentators criticizing the president’s interaction as inappropriate. Influencer Benny Johnson reposted a clip, which has since gone viral, with similar sentiments echoed by former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis and others.
Adding to the festivity, the White House event featured Halloween-themed storytelling, Disney character appearances, and seasonal decor, making the gathering a memorable event for attendees.
