The outlet approached several aides about the President's "wacky phrases," but none could provide a clear answer. White House principal deputy press secretary, Olivia Dalton, told reporters that Biden "was commenting to someone in the crowd." However, Biden's aides are often confused by his "quirky aphorisms," Axios reported. The outlet concluded that the President's weird phrases were "Biden being Biden."
During the speech, Biden also uttered another phrase he once used toward a student who questioned him about his fourth-place standing in the 2020 Iowa caucuses. "Is that the truth? Now, do not make a lie – as that scene in the John Wayne movie – don't make me a dog-faced, lying, pony-soldier," Biden said, this time about the reported incoming storm.

Axios reported that as a proud Irishman whose ancestors probably weren't fans of the crown, Biden might use the phrase "God Save the Queen" more as sarcasm. The outlet cited former and current Biden aides who said they "still aren't sure" what he meant by the phrase.

As Biden campaigns for re-election in 2024, his age has become a concern for Democrats and Republicans. Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton noted that his age is an issue during an interview with the Financial Times in May.

"But his age is an issue, and people have every right to consider it," Clinton said. "But, you know, he has this great saying – and I think he's right – don't judge him for running against the Almighty but against the alternative. I am of the camp that I think he's determined to run; he has a good record that, three years ago, people would not have predicted would have gotten done."
