White House Biden Autopen Portrait Unveiling
The White House is unveiling its new “Presidential Walk of Fame.” The collection is positioned just outside the Oval Office and features portraits of U.S. presidents, with the exception of former President Biden. For former President Biden, the White House opted to use a framed photo of an “autopen” writing his signature. President Trump and his allies have focused on Biden’s alleged use of the autopen, which can be used to sign official documents in place of a manual signature, and raised questions about his cognitive abilities while in office. the White House posted a video of the walkway outside the West Wing, which featured black-and-white portraits of presidents in gold frames.
Noticeably absent from the line-up is a photo of Mr Biden, who is instead replaced with a picture of an autopen signing his signature.
Donald Trump and other Republicans have claimed that the 45th president used the mechanical device to sign important documents, including pardons. Mr Biden and his former aides have denied the allegations.
