In a scheduled press conference to prove he is still capable, Biden refers to his VP as “Vice President Trump”
Vice President Trump
Please note Biden Refers to Vice President Harris as ‘Vice President Trump’
President Joe Biden on Thursday mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump” in the opening question of his highly-anticipated solo press conference in Washington.
“Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [if] I think she’s not qualified to be president,” Biden said, confusing his second-in-command with his November election opponent, former President Donald Trump.
A reporter pointed out Biden’s mistake in the final question of the press conference, asking the president to comment on the blunder after Trump used it to mock him. Biden smiled to himself and replied, “Listen to him,” before walking off stage.
In another memorable slip, Biden referred to his chief of staff as “my commander in chief” before catching his mistake.
Biden also often interrupted himself mid-sentence, diverting to unrelated topics as he worked to make his case for reelection: “There’s so much we can do still. I’m determined to get it done. It’s about freedom. By the way, I’ll end this, well I’m not going to do that … Haley has to come up too,” he said before trailing off.
Earlier Thursday evening, Biden added salt to his political wounds at a scripted NATO event honoring Ukraine where he accidentally introduced Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin.”
“And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin,” Biden said, before quickly correcting himself.
Hours before Biden’s highly-anticipated press conference, one of his campaign officials told NBC News that the president needs to drop out: “He’ll never recover from this.”

About to Cry

Wow.
Can Biden Last Another 10 Days?
I have my doubts Biden can last another 10 days let alone 4 months.
Is Biden Bluffing or Do Democrats Have a Defendable Strategy?
Yesterday, I asked Is Biden Bluffing or Do Democrats Have a Defendable Strategy?
The strategy I theorized was for Biden to hang on until July 21. That’s when the DNC meets and could (I proposed would) make Biden-Harris the official ticket.
The convention would then be a political show.
I now wonder if Biden can last 10 days.
