In news that will no doubt shock everyone (not really) a prediction made by President Joe Biden did not actually work out.
On Thursday, Biden (or, more likely, the intern charged with making his NCAA bracket) tweeted out his predictions for March Madness. Except, not only did the president’s pick to win the men’s tournament, Arizona, lose to 15-point underdog Princeton in the first-round. But the president also committed the ultimate bracket party foul of posting his picks after the tournament had already begun.
Good luck to every team in this year’s NCAA tournament.
I’ve got Arizona in the men’s tournament and Villanova in the women’s – and as you know, in this household, Villanova always wins. pic.twitter.com/iILzABTCuo

Princeton ended up defeating Arizona 59-55. Was Arizona a bad pick? No. A ton of experts had the Wildcats going all the way. What is bad, and, sadly, par for the course for his administration, is coming up a day late and a dollar short by missing the bracket deadline altogether.
This fact was not missed by Twitter users.
Vintage Biden. Tweets out bracket after tournament started. Auto DQ. See ya next year buddy. https://t.co/SIoIR8ydnj

Jake Tapper has spent more time covering Joe Biden’s NCAA tournament bracket than he has Joe Biden’s business dealings with China. https://t.co/UKeFiZaFkx

Biden picked #2 seed Arizona to win March Madness in his bracket and they promptly lose in the first round to #15 seed Princeton. Guess it’s harder to win when it’s not rigged huh Joe?

Joe Biden decided to fill out his bracket after March Madness started. He picked Arizona to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
They lost their first game.

Joe Biden has time to fill out an extensive detailed March Madness Bracket but he doesn’t have the time to go to East Palestine.

Joe Biden is bad at picking basketball winners and following rules. You can add it to the very long list of things he is bad at.
