Joe Biden’s official campaign for the Democrat nomination is about to enter its very first weekend of campaigning, and today the former veep was offered a softball question that was begging to be hit out of the park. Instead, this happened:

Question: "Why are you the best choice for Democrats?" Joe Biden: "That'll be for the Democrats to decide." pic.twitter.com/myi5cbyJ8j — The Hill (@thehill) April 26, 2019

Joe might want to work on that one some more.

Maybe having his personal behavior scrutinized more is having an effect on Biden’s swagger.

Biden has no idea why. LMAO. https://t.co/kfX3R2PJId — Red X'd Ajjani Knight (@AjjaniKnight) April 26, 2019

Voting public: "Why should we vote for you?"

Biden: "That's up to you to decide."

Voting public: "Wait, what??"https://t.co/uAWePHkWd0 — Mark Augustine (@MarkAugustine60) April 26, 2019

Perhaps “Wait, what?” would be a good Biden 2020 campaign slogan.
