JOE Biden bizarrely nibbled three babies at his Halloween event last night – as his wife Jill donned a full panda suit.
The president, 81, and First Lady hosted trick-or-treaters on the White House South Lawn for the last time on Wednesday.

Children were seen arriving with their parents in droves – decked out in colorful costumes and excited to meet their president.
Biden, famed for his playful interactions with children, seemed just as pleased to meet them, even appearing to bite them with his mouth.
At one moment, the president was caught chomping the leg of a turkey-clad baby, cradled by their mom.
He was later seen nibbling the toe of a child in an ice cream cone costume and gnawing at a third baby in a little blue dress.
The president was joined by Dr. Jill Biden who wore a full panda suit, later taking off the huge head to reveal herself inside.
It came after the first lady worked with the National Zoo earlier this year to announce that pandas would be returning to Washington.
They arrived in the nation’s capital in mid-October and Jill Biden donned the panda suit Wednesday as a welcoming gesture, the White House said.
Jill also added an educational theme to the event and named it Hallo-Read to help encourage reading.
Earlier Wednesday, she read a short story about spooky pumpkins to a group of costumed children gathered on the lawn.
She and the president later ventured outside at sunset and spent about an hour handing out treats.
Biden, in a suit and tie, dropped boxes of White House Hershey’s Kisses chocolates in the kids’ tote bags while the first lady handed out copies of 10 Spooky Pumpkins.
Up to 8,000 people, including students and children tied to the military, were expected to pass through the White House gates during the day.
A large orange moon and a sign that said Hallow-Read at the White House decorated the south face of the executive mansion.
The decorations also included cardboard representations of Willow, the family cat, stacks of books and giant pumpkins on the floor.
It comes just days before the final votes in the election are cast, with Biden hitting the headlines earlier this week for calling Donald Trump supporters “garbage”.
Trump last night dubbed the remark “a disgrace”.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe spoke at a New York City rally at Madison Square Garden where he called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”.
His words were quickly condemned by some of the public and blasted by Democrats.
Hours later, during a Zoom with Voto Latino, Biden referred to the remarks as he said: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s.
“His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”
Democrats quickly scrambled to fix the gaffe as they attempted to blame the comments on bad grammar.
Biden later put out a statement insisting he meant to blast Hinchcliffe’s “hateful rhetoric” against Puerto Rico as “garbage”.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, condemned Biden’s contentious remarks, telling voters: “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.
“I will be a president for all Americans whether you vote for me or not.”
Americans will head to the polls to cast their final votes next week.
