President Biden joked about his upcoming exit from the White House during an event at the West Wing of the White House on Wednesday, telling a group of content creators that he is “looking for a job.”
The White House held a Creator Economy Conference on Wednesday, playing host to social media influences and other content creators. He said in his brief remarks that they can play a key role curbing partisanship in U.S. politics.
“It’s never been this bad before. I don’t mean the press, I mean the way we treat each other in politics,” Biden said. “It’s getting incredibly difficult to count the number of lies people hear.”
“They don’t know what to believe. They don’t know what to count on, but you break through,” he told the creators. “And that’s why I invited you to the White House, because I’m looking for a job.”
