Biden confuses his vice president, Kamala Harris, with Trump

The President of the United States, Joe Biden (Democratic Party), 81 years old, confused this Thursday (11.Jul.2024) the Vice President Kamala Harris (Democratic Party) with the former President Donald Trump (Republican Party) – the Democrat’s main opponent in the presidential elections in November of this year.

“I would not have chosen Vice President Trump to be Vice President”Biden told reporters when asked how confident he was in Harris.

The statement was given in an interview with the press on the evening of Thursday (11 July) and is considered important for the continuation of his presidential campaign, which has been the target of distrust among voters due to his age.

Earlier, Biden made another gaffe and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “President Putin”in reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two European countries have been at war since 2022.

IMPACT ON THE CAMPAIGN

The Democrat’s age is an obstacle to his possible reelection. His cognitive aptitude has become a topic of discussion in the election campaign due to the blunders he has been making during his term. If he wins the November election, Biden will be 86 years old when he leaves office.

There are video recordings of several embarrassing situations in which Biden stumbles, shows weakness or even has memory lapses. A recent report by Wall Street Journal interviewed dozens of people and reports that the country’s president often dozes off during meetings.

In June, the American newspaper also published a long report listing moments in which Biden makes mistakes, such as disconnecting from conversations, closing his eyes and giving the impression of having some memory confusion.
