Joe and Jill Biden hosted President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto of Kenya for a State Dinner Thursday evening.
The Kenyan president arrived at the White House on Wednesday for a three-day visit.
The greeting ceremony on the South Lawn earlier Thursday was a disaster. Biden struggled with simple directions and could barely walk.
Later Thursday evening Jill and Joe hosted the Kenyan president for an entertainment reception on the South Lawn.
Jill Biden donned an ill-fitting tacky blue sequin dress to the State Dinner.

Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter attended the State Dinner as well.
Great to see Hunter Biden at tonight’s State Dinner at the White House. Despite everything Republicans have put him through, nothing can come between Hunter and his dad. The Biden family stands strong. pic.twitter.com/WFfLVnjzcD
