President Biden told a crowd in Las Vegas on Sunday that he recently met with Francois Mitterand, the French president who has been dead for nearly 30 years.
The comments came while Biden was warning of the dangers of a potential second Trump presidency, as he aimed to shore up enthusiasm ahead of Tuesdayâs Democratic primary in Nevada.
Biden recounted a story he has told many times during his presidency, about a meeting he had with French President Emmanuel Macron during a G7 meeting in England, some months after Biden had taken over the White House.
âI sat down and I said, âAmericaâs back,ââ Biden recalled. âAnd Mitterand from Germany â I mean from France â looked at me and saidâŚâ
Biden appeared to trail off before collecting his thoughts to finish the sentence: âWell, how long are you back for?â
The president continued, saying the âChancellor of Germanyâ asked him how he â and by extension, the U.S. â would respond if, hypothetically, thousands of people stormed Britainâs House of Commons and killed two âbobbies,â or British police officers, to stop the election of a Prime Minister.
François Mitterrand was Franceâs president between 1981 and 1995. He died in 1996.
