“Remember when the Easter Bunny took out Joe Biden?” Trump said with a grin.

“He’s not going to be taking Trump out!” the president added, making the first lady, who was standing nearby, giggle.
The joke was a nod to the discussion around Biden’s cognitive decline toward the end of his presidency, which has been the subject of political scrutiny renewed in recent headlines. A slew of new books, including one by journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, detail rising concerns among prominent Democrats about Biden’s mental acuity ahead of the 2024 presidential debate.
Biden’s 2022 Easter Bunny intervention may have been part of the administration’s broader strategy to manage his public appearances. However, the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll event was filled with lighter, more heartwarming interactions.
The first lady and the president participated in traditional festivities, including blowing whistles, egg rolling, and coloring with children.
