President Biden playfully pretended to bite a group of adorable, costumed toddlers during a Halloween celebration at the White House on Wednesday night.
In several unusual interactions, 81-year-old Biden mimed nibbling on baby after baby — including one dressed as a chicken.

The baby's mother seemed unbothered by the act — she even engaged in small talk with the president afterward.
Meanwhile, GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump was seen sitting in a garbage truck before delivering a speech in an orange safety vest, as he prepares for a rematch against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“President Trump is mingling with garbage men at his rally in Wisconsin,” right-wing commentator Nick Sorter tweeted.
“Meanwhile, Joe Biden is literally BITING BABIES at the White House Halloween Party. WTF IS THIS TIMELINE?”
“Joe Biden bites a baby,” tweeted Steve Krakauer, a producer from the Megyn Kelly Show. “And 2024 is complete…”
During the Halloween festivities, Biden jokingly bit a baby’s arm and another child’s foot, while also kissing several other children held by their parents.
“Remember when Joe Biden’s dog Major bit people at the White House at least 24 times. Maybe he learned it from his owner,” another social media user joked, referencing the first family’s German shepherd who had repeatedly bitten White House staff.
The White House hosts trick-or-treaters for Halloween annually, marking Biden’s last Halloween event before he leaves office in January.
The president, who has been under continuous scrutiny regarding his mental sharpness, is known for his sometimes bizarre and awkward public behavior.
