Joe Biden Swats Away Pesky Cicada After Massive Swarm Delays His Press Plane

Joe Biden was still in good spirits after a pesky swarm of cicadas surrounded him in Washington D.C. on June 9.

The president was preparing to embark on his first trip abroad as president, and the cicadas were swarming as he chatted outside before getting on Air Force 1.

At one point, President Biden even swatted away a cicada that landed on his neck! He kept a smile on his face, though, and continued his conversations throughout the morning.

After wrapping up, he addressed nearby reporters about the bug situation. “Watch out for the cicadas!” he warned. “I just got one — it got me!” In fact, the swarm of bugs was so bad, that the plane chartering press reporters abroad for the trip even had to be delayed!
