Where Was Joe Biden on Day After 9/11? President's Story Raises Questions

Joe Biden has come under fire after claiming to have visited the ruins of the World Trade Center on September 12, 2001, one day after the 9/11 attacks, despite there being no records of the then-senator being in New York at all that day.

The president made the claim on Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history, while giving an address at a military base in Alaska.

Republicans are focusing heavily on apparent gaffes by Biden as many argue that the 80-year-old Democrat isn't mentally fit for a second White House term. In October 2022, Biden incorrectly said he is the father of a man who "lost his life in Iraq." This was an apparent reference to his eldest son, Beau Biden, who did serve in Iraq but died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, in 2015.
