Four Florida counties had “zero results” Oct. 26, and “something underhanded might be happening.”

In the original video, shared on TikTok in June, he tells a child a woman is holding, "Let me whisper you a secret," and then says, "Don’t tell mommy what I told you." 

Biden had signed an executive order June 9 at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, related to economic security for military families. He was surrounded by people.

In response to someone asking on TikTok what Biden said, the video’s poster wrote: "I don’t think he told him anything because I didn’t hear him say anything I think he just pretended to say something."
