REPORT: Professional Lip Reader Reveals President Biden's Conversation With Obama At Kennedy Funeral - 'She's Not As Strong As Me'

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama attended Ethel Kennedy's memorial service in Washington, D.C. Just before the event began to commemorate the life and legacy of the Kennedy matriarch, Biden and Obama were seen having a conversation that some observers theorized was about Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. According to a professional lip reader, those theories are correct.

Professional lip reader Jeremy Freedman told The New York Post that President Biden told Obama, "She's not as strong as me," likely referencing Vice President Harris. In response, Obama said, "I know … that's true. We have time."

"Yeah, we'll get it in time," Biden, who dropped out of the race on July 21, responded. The former president also explained to the 81-year-old Democrat that "it's important that we have some time together," likely pointing out that he should campaign with Harris. According to Freedman, a deaf man who is a forensic lip reader based out of London, the conversation between the two presidents was "very supportive," and there was "no tension" between the two men.

In response to the report from The New York Post, Biden spokesman Andrew Bates wrote, "A 'lip reading expert'? Did your usual right-wing soothsayer have their out-of-office up? Only President Biden and President Obama know what they discussed, but this certainly wasn't it."

The conversation between Biden and Obama comes as Vice President Kamala Harris has begun to lose momentum less than three weeks from Election Day. While polls have slightly begun to lean more in Trump's favor in recent weeks, the race is still incredibly close, with Harris contesting the 45th president in each of the seven battleground states.

According to renowned poll analyst Nate Silver, Trump has a narrow edge over Harris in the presidential race. "The Electoral College race remains as close to 50/50 as it gets. But with some good polls for Trump entering our database today, like a 2-point lead in a high-quality national poll and a big lead in Georgia (though he trails in North Carolina in the same Quinnipiac poll), if you squint at the probabilities, you'll see Trump 50.2%, Harris 49.5%. (There's an 0.3% chance of a 269-269 tie)," Silver wrote. "That's not much different from yesterday's forecast of Harris 50.3%, Trump 49.4%. But however nominal, it's Trump's first lead in our model since Sept. 19. There's a good chance that the lead will continue to shift back and forth, akin to a 110-109 basketball game late in the fourth quarter."

With the 2024 race hotly contested and Vice President Harris struggling to maintain momentum, President Obama's worry about the Harris campaign's chances in November isn't unfounded. President Trump is enjoying his highest poll numbers since launching his political career in 2015, and if the polls have the same skewed margin as 2016 and 2020, then Trump could come out of the presidential race with a Republican trifecta.
