Biden Tells Reporter in St. Croix His New Year’s Resolution is ‘To Come Back Next Year’

 

Like many people, President Joe Biden is making New Year’s resolutions — but his sounds pretty easy to accomplish.

The president is vacationing in St. Croix and was asked by a reporter about his resolutions. Fox & Friends played the video clip after the co-hosts shared their own resolutions:

REPORTER: Mr. President, what’s your New Year’s resolution, sir?

BIDEN: To come back next year.

REPORTER: Anything else?

BIDEN: That’s the biggest one right now.

Pete Hegseth joked that he had determined that what Biden meant was “stay alive.”

“That’s what it feels like, right?” said Johnny Jones.

“That’s what Obama told him, to stay alive,” said Rachel Campos-Duffy.

“Joe, just make it, man,” said Jones.

“I’m just coming back next year — which is tomorrow,” said Hegseth.

Jones commented that he liked how Biden said that was his “biggest” resolution, and maybe he should also consider “don’t let the dog bite as many people, don’t let the kids get in as much trouble” — presumably referring to the president’s German Shepard with a predilection for biting Secret Service agents and the president’s son with a predilection for taking compromising videos of himself while high — and also “maybe one is, I don’t know, secure the border.”

CNN covered Biden’s resolution as well, with State of the Union anchor Dana Bash asking Kate Bedingfield about it, and the former Biden White House communications director joking, “we love a New Year’s resolution we can keep, right?” before acknowledging that 2024 was expected to be “a rocky and challenging and close campaign.”
