President Biden’s Mix-Up at NATO Event and Press Conference

On July 10, during a NATO event in Washington, US President Joe Biden mistakenly introduced Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden quickly corrected himself, emphasizing his focus on defeating Putin. Zelenskyy humorously responded, and the room shared a light moment.

Later, at a solo press conference, Biden accidentally referred to his Vice-President Kamala Harris as ‘Vice-President Trump.’ He quickly clarified his statement, but the error was highlighted by Donald Trump on social media.

Concerns about Biden’s age and candidacy were addressed by fellow leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who asked for understanding. Despite the mix-ups, Biden remains determined to ‘finish the job.’ However, some Democrats have called for him to step aside for a new generation of leaders.

Support and Criticism

French President Emmanuel Macron defended Biden, stating that everyone makes mistakes. Meanwhile, four House Democrats have urged Biden to end his campaign, citing the need for new leadership. Senate Democrats remain uncertain about Biden’s chances of winning, even after discussions with his campaign team.
