Joe Biden is completely out of it.
Joe and Jill Biden on Friday hosted a reception in thw White House Thursday night. VP Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff also attended the celebration in the East Room.
Biden delivered brief remarks before exiting stage left.
But he got lost — as he so often does these days — and needed a nudge from Dr. Jill.

Joe Biden had a tough week.
Biden mumbled through his remarks on Thursday and appeared to forget the name of his own FEMA Administrator.
After delivering remarks Joe Biden wandered away from the podium.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell attempted to redirect Joe Biden as he wandered away.
On Wednesday Joe Biden thought Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car accident last month, was alive and at his conference on health and hunger.
Joe Biden asked, “Jackie are you here? Where’s Jackie?”
Joe Biden’s cognitive decline is so bad that at least 6 different reporters asked Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden’s confusion over Walorski.
“These moments of confusion are happening with increasing frequency,” one reporter said this week.
And Americans are increasingly concerned as well, as Biden reaches just the halfway point of his term.
A September Harvard/Harris Poll showed that 56 percent said they “have doubts” about Biden’s mental “fitness” for serving as president, while only 44 percent said he was “mentally fit.” This number included 67 percent of independents.
