PRESIDENT Biden appeared to freeze for a moment during a Juneteenth celebration at the White House.

The commander-in-chief looked statuesque at the event, sparking further concern just months before the presidential election.

It came just days after Joe Biden, 81, appeared to look lost while alongside French President Emmanuel Macron at a D-Day commemoration event in Normandy.

Footage shared by the RNC Research group showed Biden grinning while Vice President Kamala Harris and members of George Floyd’s family danced.

Biden was standing still while Harris was dancing to the beat of the music.

The president was motionless in the footage for around 20 seconds before Floyd's brother Philonise put his arm around him.

Biden then raised his hand before giving Philonise a fist bump.

Another viral clip showed a tired-looking Biden drinking what looked like Gatorade.

The president then gave a rambling speech which wasn't coherent at some points.

"The day reminds us that we have a helluva lot more work to do. Let's keep marching. Let's keep the faith," Biden told the crowds in one moment.

The Democrat's term has been plagued with gaffes and blunders.

He has fallen up the stairs of Air Force One and has stumbled on countless occasions.

Last year, Biden took a tumble at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.

In February, Biden confused the leaders of Mexico and Egypt while delivering a rambling address to the nation after it emerged he wouldn't face criminal charges over storing secret docs.

Last week, Biden seemed to fumble for his seat while on stage with the Macrons and his wife, Jill, at the D-Day event.

But, there was no chair behind Biden.

Biden looked like he was crouching down before Jill then put her hand over her mouth.

It looked like she was going to tell him something.

It's not known if she uttered anything to the president.

Questions continue to swirl over Biden's health and competency for office - just months before Americans go to the polls.

And polling suggests Biden's re-election bid could be tricky.

ON A KNIFE-EDGE

Real Clear Politics polling suggests Donald Trump would win the election if it were held tomorrow.

Trump has leads over his rival in all seven battleground states that will decide who ends up in the White House.

The brash tycoon leads by more than five points in North Carolina and Nevada.

Trump's lead is more slender in the likes of Wisconsin and Michigan - states which Biden won in 2020.

Trump has had a polling lead for months - despite the four indictments leveled against him and being convicted of falsifying business documents.

And, Biden's job approval is lower than what Trump's, Obama's, and George W. Bush's were at this stage of their respective presidencies.

Biden's approval ratings have not been above water since August 2021.

The vast majority of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.
