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.
The president misspoke and appeared to lose his train of thought several times as he fielded reporters’ questions.
In another blunder, Biden wrongly referred to his chief of staff as “my commander in chief” before catching his mistake.
Following his bungled debate performance against former President Donald Trump on June 27, Biden came into this press conference on a mission: Prove to the public that he can handle tough questions in an unscripted environment.
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.
Throughout Thursday’s press conference, Biden delivered stumbling, sometimes meandering responses to questions on foreign policy, inflation and other issues, which he tried to use to attack Trump.
He gave a seven-minute response to a question about China, for instance, where he occasionally trailed off mid-sentence and tripped over some words.
“Some of our European friends are going to be curtailing their investment in Russia, I mean, excuse me, in China,” the president said.
When he cited numbers, he repeatedly prefaced with a disclaimer that he might get the number wrong: “Don’t hold me to the exact number.”

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.
LOL, what a joke!
Wasn’t this supposed to be the press conference where we would all see how sharp and coherent he is?
LOL

He also stopped mid sentence, staring into the audience and muttering “I beg your pardon?” once before continuing with his incoherent ramblings.
Vice President Harris should ‘step aside’ for good of the country, Washington Post columnist says!”

Vice President Harris should “step aside,” Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote on Friday, as she called the vice president’s performance “disappointing,” and warned she’s become a “burden to the Democratic ticket.”
While she said she was pulling for Harris to succeed, Parker argued her performance “has been disappointing.”
“The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base.
Full stop. The seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning,” Parker wrote.
“Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others,” Parker wrote.
The headline to the column read, “For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step aside.”
Parker argued that her perspective was not partisan as she also called for Sarah Palin to quit in 2008.

Ya did so good Joe. Enjoy...
4 more years!
dont let one press conference define your 3 1/2 years in office Dementia Joe!
Stick in there!
LMAO
Yeah! What was that all about?
Biden was terrific. Give him a chance. I wouldn’t even consider replacing him.
Go Joe Go!
“Train of thought”
Hahahaha...cough...cough....hahahaha. Did the bleach blond, American hating racist Joyless Reid over on MSNBC write this story?
“Good job, Joe. You answered all the questions.” 🙄
In all honesty, I thought he did ok, but the democrats want him out because of the polls.
Of course he shouldn’t be president, that’s always been true.
I bet someone was screaming in his earpiece.
I actually thought Joey performed spectacularly well for an “elderly man with a poor memory”, who I think has been brain-dead for the last ten years. I think he should schedule an office visit with Dr. Kevorkian.
