President Biden made headlines once again with another gaffe during a highly anticipated press conference at the NATO summit. In a mix-up that left journalists gasping, Biden referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump,” confusing her with former President Donald Trump.
This slip-up came shortly after Biden had also confused Russian President Vladimir Putin with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a different event. The press conference, which was supposed to address mounting calls for Biden to step aside after a previous debate, was marred by Biden’s soft, raspy voice, frequent coughing, and moments where he seemed to lose his train of thought.
The event, dubbed a “big boy press conference” by Biden’s aides, was meant to reaffirm his ability to lead. However, the mix-up with Harris and Trump only fueled further speculation about Biden’s mental acuity. The incident was met with gasps and groans from the journalists in attendance.
The New York Post covered the story, highlighting the confusion and providing more details on the event. The gaffe-prone president has once again found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
