Biden bites baby: a last week of US election oddities
It has been a wild US presidential election campaign, and the final week provided another selection of weird and wonderful offbeat moments.
- Biden's baby bite -
President Joe Biden took a playful bite into the leg of a baby dressed as a chicken at the White House's Halloween party.
The 81-year-old pretended to sink his teeth into the child as he stood beside First Lady Jill Biden... who was wearing a giant panda costume to greet children.
- 'Tis the election -
For "Queen of Christmas" Mariah Carey, her favorite season may be just around the corner, but she reminded Americans that the election comes first in a social media clip.
Carey, wearing festive attire, launched into her hit track "All I Want For Christmas Is You" -- before actor Kerry Washington brought her to a halt.
"No, no, no, it's not your season yet Mariah. It's voting season," Washington said.
- Trash talk -
Kamala Harris's running mate Tim Walz, who nurtures a working man persona, ribbed Trump for stumbling during a photo op this week.
"This dude's nearly 80-years-old. He damn near killed himself getting into a garbage truck," Walz told a Pennsylvania rally, after video showed Trump stumbling as he twice missed the door handle at an airport in Wisconsin.
- A lot of Trump -
A touring, nude, 40-foot statue depicting Donald Trump -- complete with genitalia -- divided opinions when it appeared in Philadelphia in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
"I love freedom of speech," one local told The Philadelphia Inquirer. But a Republican Party official was less happy, slamming it as "appalling."
Police reportedly requested the removal of the unflattering artwork, which has been traveling the country ahead of the election.
- Dough-mocracy -
There are a myriad of reasons Americans will vote, but for some, it may be as simple as the promise of a sweet treat.
Krispy Kreme announced it will give a free doughnut on Election Day to people who vote, celebrating what it called "doughmocracy."
