President Biden wandered off stage at an Arizona campaign event after he was distracted by a young baby their young mom.
The president, 81, made a beeline for the youngster while his campaign manager introduced him at a Mexican diner in Phoenix on Tuesday.
'Well folks, I have to tell you straight up… I like you all, but I couldn't resist that baby,' he told the audience, which appeared to be only a few dozen people.
While that infant appeared happy to come face to face with the commander-in-chief, another youngster was seen holding her hands to her ears during Biden's remarks at a separate event on Tuesday in Reno, Nevada, on Tuesday.
The event in the battleground state was intended to help Biden's floundering poll numbers with Hispanic voters, who backed him in 2020 but have moved to Donald Trump in recent surveys.
Biden's campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez had been addressing the crowd for around a minute before Biden became distracted by the child.
He pulled a face at the baby before meandering off the stage, drawing laughs from onlookers as Chavez Rodriguez continued her remarks.
>The 81-year-old talked up the child and their mother and reportedly asked 'how old' the infant was, while repeatedly pulling faces at the crowd and appearing to try make the child laugh.
Biden's remarks at the Mexican restaurant come as his 2024 re-election campaign begins ramping up across the nation, as he took an opening shot against likely election opponent Trump. 'He only cares about the wealthy,' Biden said at the event.
The president will look to turn around his slumping poll numbers among Hispanic voters if he is to once-again defeat Donald Trump. In 2020, Biden won 65 percent of Hispanic voters, but recent polls show his Republican challenger has taken a slim lead with less than eight months until the election.
