President Joe Biden was at Baltimore's Bmore Licks on Tuesday, October 29, to enjoy some chocolate chip ice cream. However, he ended up ordering a scoop of chocolate and vanilla-flavored ice cream in a sugar cone as the store doesn't stock chocolate chip flavor.
The 81-year-old politician is infamous for his love for ice cream and does not shy away from expressing it. Going far and wide for his favorite dessert, Biden made a stop at the family-owned ice cream shop in Baltimore's Canton.
Joe Biden was accompanied by Baltimore's Mayor Brandon Scott and Republican Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks at the store. As per The Baltimore Banner's report from October 29, Scott ordered butter pecan flavor on a waffle cone and Alsobrooks had a sweet cup of cookies and cream flavor.

What is Joe Biden's favorite ice cream flavor?
Joe Biden has always professed his love for ice cream to the media and fans alike. The 46th United States President reportedly loves chocolate chip-flavored ice cream.

She responded to a question about whether the 81-year-old politician had a giant freezer packed with ice cream in his office and said:

Briefing on the rumors about the freezer filled with ice cream, she continued:
"So that is my update for all of you on that. But I have not found the freezer."

He responded to a child who asked about his favorite ice cream flavor and said:
"I may be among the dullest presidents in the world because I'm known for two things: my Ray Ban sunglasses and chocolate chip ice cream. That's my favorite."

The final showdown for the elections will be held on November 5, 2024. It will observe over 244 million people voting for their electors who will then elect the 47th President of the United States.
