Biden Apologizes for Delay, Blames Elevator Play

U.S. President Joe Biden apologized to reporters for being late to his press conference in Rome following a two-day meeting with G20 leaders before heading to the UN climate summit in Glasgow. Biden, who kept reporters waiting for about an hour on Sunday, said, "I apologize for making you wait; we were playing with the elevators. It's a long story anyway." From June 1 to the second week of October, Biden was on average 22.4 minutes late to his publicly scheduled events, according to a tally by Fox News. At times, he has kept his audience waiting for an hour or more.
