With their packed schedules, most presidential candidates -- and the commanders in chief they sometimes become -- rarely get anywhere on time. Even controlling for typical on-the-trail tardiness, however, Democratic nominee Biden has been quite late to several recent events.

Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry in Manitowoc, Wis., Monday, Sept. 21, 2020. On a recent Friday, he'd already apologized for the delayed start to a speech, then taken more questions than expected at a subsequent press conference. When it was finally over, Biden's motorcade sped away quickly enough to leave behind one of the journalists travelling with it.

With their packed schedules, relish for meeting as many people as possible and natural tendency toward verbosity, most presidential candidates -- and the commanders in chief they sometimes become -- rarely get anywhere, or do anything, on time. Even controlling for typical on-the-trail tardiness, however, Biden has been pushing it lately.

Not all presidents, or candidates hoping to occupy the White House, are chronically late. George W. Bush had a rule about always starting on time. No commander in chief in recent memory, however, was so often tardy as Clinton. His ignoring of the clock was so common that those who knew him in Arkansas referred to "Clinton Standard Time," which ran at least 15 minutes behind the rest of the world. By the time Clinton was running for president in 1992, it had become "Elvis Time," which meant adding up to an extra hour or two to any scheduled start time.

While campaigning, meanwhile, nearly all politicians run late because, when they have a chance to get in front of voters, they can't stand to tear themselves away -- knowing each personal interaction all but guarantees a vote.

Has no one notice that Trump is always late. Biden talks to reporters and gets behind. Trump makes people wait up to half an hour sometimes and has no excuse.

He actually just gon die after he wins so kamila can be president

How about running a story about what socks Justin is wearing to the throne speech? It’s a Canadian subject and about as thought provoking as you get while serving softballs to this government.

That’s not a serious as battling senility.

Now do Trump's punctually...

CANTFINDANYTHINGONBIDEN

Haba 30 years in the buisness, you'd think he would have accomplished more for the people instead of just himself!

Weekend at Biden’s.

Bad news for Biden!

What is the point of this article? CTVNews has dropped to didly skuat comments?

Future potus

This is the 3rd time he ran for President. 1988 - dropped out due to multiple plagiarism 2008 - got smoked 2020 - he can barely finish a sentence. He has taken 300 questions to Trumps 1200. Most of Bidens are pre-planned too. Trumps aren’t.

it's hard when you have dementia and your doctor/wife is trying to find that medicated sweet spot.

And CTVNationalNews battles 'choric' stupidty. What ABOUT CANADIAN NEEDS? On the eve of our supposed ' real big thing' THRONE SPEECH, NOTHING? YOU got nothing?

He's still grieving the 200 million people that died during his last speech.

He’s got something wrong with him....it’s simply not right they are propping him up like this

Trump has allowed 200 000 deaths in america.

The mask suits him well

First Trump-Biden debate to focus on Supreme Court, coronavirus and raceThe first presidential debate between U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will focus on a number of topics, including the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court and the racial reckoning in the country. Sleepy Joe in a debate, this is going to be great! That's if he makes it to the debate, looks like he's in big trouble with Ukraine as we speak. Biden is going to get the questions first, we all know that. He won’t be able to read off his Teleprompter as he always does, even “live”. This should be hilarious. No sniffing Joe....stay to script. I gave trump 3 sentences before he starts to insult Biden cuz that's what bullies do.
