This kid removed his stutter in less than a year Thanks to Biden who mostly campaigned and all. Just imagine what Biden can do when he doesnt have to constantly be out campaigning

[danrion]

President Biden is open about his weaknesses. That's Manly.

[zachtheobald]

It's great having a president who helps inspire kids instead of mocking them.

As an 18 year old myself with a terrible stutter I’m so happy to see this

[GeorgeKouloumbis]

I can relate to this story . I'm 63 and still remember those horrible moments in school.
Well done you. Perciver

He changed the world for this kid with a simple, kind gesture.

This makes me emotional. In the people's house we need president ( Republican or Democrat) who inspires our kids. Biden ❤

A president who actually helps disabled people instead of mocking them? Didn't see that in 4 years

[DokkaChapman]

Doing Presidential things even before he became President. So heartwarming, I'm really looking forward to the next 4 years.

Some people hear a stutterer and assume they lack intelligence. They are so wrong!

[thegrinderk]

Hey that guy sounds like a nice guy. Maybe he should be our president.

[jeffamunoz]

*President Joe Biden kept his word with this brave young man, he has met up with him about his stutter, and I'm proud of both of them!*

[peace.]

“Someone who will make our country and the world feel better.” Now that says it all!

[ryanwitwickifaddegon]

I'm so sick and tired of people defining us learning disabilities as our disabilities. This boy takes a stand proving them wrong.

[EricaGamet]

When I watched the celebration, I didn't even recognize Brayden... he's grown up and seems super confident in his speaking... I have loved this story since the start.

[cookiemonster]

Inspiration instead of hatred. We are already winning big time!

[paigeherrin]

I don’t know why people think it’s so creepy that President Biden is “touchy”. None of the touchiness looked perverted or wrong. He reminds me of a very loving grandpa. Even they way he called the boy, “honey”. I think he is just the genuine real deal.

optimism- a feeling that i have not felt for 4 years

Brayden was awesome. Nice to see him reciting JFK's speech.. The whole Celebrating America concert was EVERYTHING.

[jordankriss]

I don't know what it is but everytime I see that clip of him speaking to the boy, telling him 'not to let it define you', just makes me cry hard, every time. He is definitely the kind of president that US needs right now.
