Hosting Latin American and Spanish-Americans at the White House, US President Joe Biden, whose term of office is coming to an end shortly, jokingly asked famous Hollywood star Jessica Alba for a job, referring to his presidency that will end in January.
“Jessica, if I’m a big hit, can you get me a job?” Biden said, referring to Alba’s $1 billion company, drawing applause and laughter from attendees.
REFERENCE TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
Biden also responded to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric during his speech. The president said, “We do not demonize immigrants. We do not target them for attacks. We do not think they are poisoning the blood of our country. We are a nation founded by immigrants, and that is where our strength comes from.”
Biden, 81, announced that he would withdraw from the presidential race due to the pressure he faced and stated that he would support his vice president, Kamala Harris.
