The White House on Wednesday explained what President Biden meant when he misspoke and said “We finally beat Medicare” in last week’s presidential debate.
“He meant to say he beat big pharma,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a briefing when asked about the president’s words. “I mean, that’s what he meant to say.”
The statement about Medicare by the president last Thursday night left some confused, and the president has faced an overall negative review of his performance in the debate against former President Trump. The debate, in which Biden spoke with a raspy voice and stumbled over his words, sent Democrats into a state of panic, and sparked questions about if the president should remain at the top of his party’s ticket.
On Wednesday, the White House was insistent that Biden is not leaving the presidential race, and Biden said in a fundraising email the same day that nobody “is pushing” him “out.”
“I’m the Democratic Party’s nominee,” the fundraising email reads. “No one is pushing me out. I’m not leaving, I’m in this race to the end, and WE are going to win this election. If that’s all you need to hear, pitch in a few bucks to help [Vice President Harris] and me defeat Donald Trump in November.”
Some Democrats have even called for Biden to step out of the race or be replaced as the Democratic nominee. On Tuesday, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first House Democrat to publicly push Biden to leave the presidential race in the wake of the debate.

Except drug prices aren’t lower. Or don’t seem to be.
He made billions and billions for Big Pharma.
If that was what he meant, it was a lie.
Of course the kooky press secretary could be the one lying.
Welcome to 2024.
When do we get to beat KJP?
Is there any chance Biden can get 60 GOP senators elected? It would be good to have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, plus the House, plus the Supreme Court, plus the presidency.
guess we’re supposed to ignore whatever Joe says ad wait for his wife or the mop to tell us what he thinks.
They BEAT Big Pharma?
The very same Big Pharma they are in bed with? The same Big Pharma that told CDC to make sure their vaccines got into every American arm? The same Big Pharma that told CDC to deride Ivermectin? The same Big Pharma that funds Fauci? The same Big Pharma that told the Fed Gov how to respond to COVID?
THAT Big Pharma?
Yeah, they sure beat that Big Pharma.
Who gives a rip? Not me. Old fool.
It took them a week to come up with that nonsense? Weak
His brain regurgitated something obscure that seemed to fit his mood at the time...and it was the best that he could muster. Just tell it like it is.
[[“I mean, that’s what he meant to say.”]]
Well thanks spin miester-
What Karine meant to say was “Yeah, he blew it big time”
Is President Retard still talking to dead people?
How does she explain the raping in-laws, sisters and siblings.
He raised Medicare advantage premiums
I can really sympathize with Biden here. Last week I went to buy a new truck. But I misspoke, and ended up asking for a new duck. So now I don’t have a new truck. But I do have a new duck.
My opinion is if he had any lucidity, he meant to say “we finally beat COVID.”
I say that because he was rambling and Covid was in there. He lost his train of thought.
And his cognitively impaired brain went back to over an over trained point: I beat Covid and Trump failed.
He meant to say that they beat Big Pharma? LOLOLOLOL!
The rule of holes says that when you’re in one, stop digging.
