President Joe Biden’s Friday press briefing raised more questions about his health when his delivery was marked by a noticeably deeper, huskier voice.
Though the president attributed his lowered timbre to a cold passed on from his one-year-old grandson and not COVID-19, the change was noticeable enough to spark discussion. His doctor later said: “As is readily apparent, President Biden is experiencing some increased nasal congestion this week. This can be heard in his voice, and he is feeling the colloquially well-known ‘frog in one’s throat.'”

“Joe Biden’s voice is so low right now he gives Barry White a run for his money,” wrote Philadelphia journalist Josh Kruger. “The President’s typical warm tenor timbre has dropped about eleventy thousand octaves, and he’s now a true bass.”
BBC correspondent Tara McKelvey noted that the president’s voice sounded “deep and hoarse” and that he was “intensely focused on the teleprompter.”
Some said they liked the sound of Biden’s “weird sick voice,” such as Business Insider writer Bryan Metzger. Podcaster Felix Biederman joked that it would be “hard to imagine him losing reelection” if the voice is here to stay.

Others expressed confusion, with podcaster Stephen Miller wondering if his voice was dubbed over.
