Biden met with Irish President Michael D. Higgins in Dublin Castle Thursday
President Biden joked in a public appearance alongside the Irish president that he wished to stay in Ireland rather than go home to the United States.
Biden is in Ireland to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. This agreement formally ended decades violent conflict between Protestant Unionists loyal to the Crown, and Catholic Republicans supportive of a unified Ireland.
Biden, who has spoken multiple times before about his Irish roots, spent much of the trip talking about his family and America's connections to the nation across the Atlantic.
Biden appeared with Irish President Michael D. Higgins in Dublin Castle where he joked, "I'm not going home. I'm staying here." He added, "Isn't this an incredible place, all you American reporters? Looks just like the White House, right?"
"We can only hope," the Missouri Republican Party's official Twitter account tweeted in response.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, tweeted a gif expressing mock excitement over the idea.
