In a shocking moment, President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to his predecessor, Donald Trump, as “Vice President” during a solo press conference on Thursday.
The blunder occurred when Biden responded to the opening question, mistaking Vice President Kamala Harris for Trump.
When a reporter pointed out the error in the final question, Biden simply smiled and said, “Listen to him,” before exiting the stage. The gaffe drew mockery from Trump and raised further concerns about Biden’s fitness for office.
The press conference was seen as an opportunity for Biden to prove his mettle under pressure, but the mistake has only added to the scrutiny surrounding his campaign. With pressure mounting for him to drop out of the 2024 race, Biden remains resolute, insisting he is the best candidate to beat Trump in November.
However, in a surprising concession, Biden admitted he would consider exiting the race if his team deemed it impossible for him to win. This comes as Rep. Jim Himes, a top Democrat, publicly called on Biden to exit the race, citing concerns about his health and ability to lead.
The incident has left many wondering if Biden is truly fit to lead the country, and if his campaign can recover from this latest blunder. Only time will tell.
