Pressured To Prove He's Up To The Job, Biden Suffers More Stumbles In News Conference
HuffPost
The president has been resisting calls from fellow Democrats not to run for reelection following a weak debate performance two weeks ago.
WASHINGTON ― Barely two hours after mixing up Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin in public remarks, President Joe Biden mixed up his own vice president, Kamala Harris, with his coup-attempting predecessor, Donald Trump at a high-stakes news conference Thursday evening ― a gaffe likely to exacerbate concerns about his ability to beat Trump in November.
In the very first question he was asked about his confidence in Harris, Biden said: “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn’t think she was not qualified to be president.”
At a closing event of the NATO summit earlier, Biden had mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as Russia’s “President Putin” before quickly correcting himself.
Democrats uneasy about Biden’s disastrous performance at his June 27 debate against Trump and looking for a solid showing at an extended news conference likely were not reassured.
Although he looked healthier and sounded sharper and more confident than he did at his debate, Biden went on to suffer several smaller verbal stumbles. He told reporters gathered at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center that he follows the “advice of his commander in chief” before correcting himself to say “chief of staff.” Referring to the June jobs report released week, he said he just created “2,000” jobs when he meant 200,000.
