Biden joins Howard Stern for live interview [View all]

President Biden joined radio host Howard Stern for a live interview Friday, sitting down with the broadcaster at his New York City studio. The interview caught many by surprise because it was not listed on Biden’s public schedule. He spent Thursday night in New York City after attending a fundraiser hosted by actor Michael Douglas in Westchester County.

Stern asked Biden questions centered on his life, including meeting his first wife, playing football and stories about his stutter growing up. He also spoke of his time in law school, in which he called himself a “jerk” for not taking the schooling seriously, including ditching textbooks. Biden is also recounting the loss of his first wife, as well as meeting first lady Jill Biden. Stern has repeatedly praised Biden’s family, calling them “amazing,” when speaking about how Biden’s family members stepped in following his first wife’s death.

Stern reportedly sought an interview with Biden during the 2020 campaign, but it never came together. Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sat down with Stern in 2019 for an interview.

Stern had in the past been friendly with former President Trump but since has become an outspoken critic of the former president.
