During a recent press conference at the NATO Summit, President Joe Biden made a blunder that left his senior officials visibly uncomfortable. Referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump,” Biden’s slip of the tongue was met with awkward silence from Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Despite the embarrassing gaffe, Biden went on to clarify that he believes Harris is qualified to be president, but the damage was already done. The moment was captured on camera and quickly went viral, sparking discussions and jokes online.
The incident serves as a reminder of Biden’s tendency to misspeak and stumble over his words, raising concerns about his ability to lead the country effectively. As the video circulated, social media users couldn’t help but speculate on what this slip-up could mean for the administration and Harris’ future political aspirations.
