Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday to celebrate a major accomplishment: the confirmation of 235 judges, which set a record during his presidency. However, the event quickly turned controversial due to his response—or lack thereof—to a recent terror attack in New Orleans.

The attack took place on New Year’s Eve when a man named Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, drove his vehicle into a large crowd celebrating in the city’s famous Bourbon Street area. The tragedy left at least 15 people dead and 35 others injured, shocking the nation. The Sugar Bowl, a major college football event, was postponed to Thursday afternoon in light of the attack.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Biden’s actions following the tragedy drew heavy criticism. On Wednesday morning, just hours after the attack, Biden posted a cheerful “Happy New Year” message on social media, which many people found insensitive and out of touch. Critics accused him of ignoring the gravity of the incident.

Later that evening, during remarks at Camp David, Biden again avoided addressing the New Orleans attack in detail and left without taking any questions from reporters. This added to public frustration, as many were looking for a more thoughtful and compassionate response from the president.

The criticism didn’t stop there. On Thursday, during his press conference, Biden briefly acknowledged the attack but seemed more concerned about making it to the Sugar Bowl football game. At one point, he said, “The Sugar Bowl is back on. Kickoff is happening shortly. If I don’t finish this, we’re going to be in real trouble,” while checking his watch. His comments gave the impression that he was prioritizing the game over addressing the nation’s concerns about the tragedy.

Many Americans felt that Biden’s actions over the past few days showed a lack of empathy and focus during a time of national mourning. His tone and priorities left many questioning his leadership during a moment when the country needed reassurance and unity.
