Biden Repeats Exaggerated Story of 2004 House Fire

Despite reports of a small, quickly controlled kitchen fire, President Biden continues to claim the incident almost claimed his wife's life and destroyed his home.

• President Biden repeated an exaggerated story about a small kitchen fire at his Delaware home in 2004, claiming it almost claimed his wife's life.
• The fire, which Biden claims almost destroyed his home, was reported to be 'small' and 'contained to the kitchen', and was under control within 20 minutes.
• Biden has previously embellished the story, at times claiming the house burned down with his wife inside, and that a significant portion of the house was destroyed.
• Reports from 2004 do not mention anyone being trapped in the house or needing to be rescued.
• Concerns about Biden's age and his tendency to commit gaffes and repeat debunked stories have been raised, with 77% of Americans believing he is unable to effectively govern due to his age, according to an Associated Press/NORC poll.
