President Joe Biden made several notable verbal errors during a delayed, yet widely anticipated Thursday evening press conference,

Biden notably referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump" just hours after he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "President Putin," as the Post Millennial reports.

The press conference began over two hours later than scheduled. Biden's first major verbal error came when he addressed Vice President Harris' qualifications amid concerns among some about her ability to lead a ticket against Donald Trump.

First Major Mistake: ‘Vice President Trump’

While answering a question from a Reuters reporter, Biden intended to defend Harris. Instead, he mistakenly called her "Vice President Trump."

"I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn't think she was not qualified to be president. So, let's start there," Biden stated. This mistake was particularly impactful as it came while addressing concerns about Harris’ potential to challenge Trump, should she be the presidential nominee.

Second Major Mistake: Confusing Zelensky with Putin

Another significant error occurred on Thursday during Biden's introduction of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Praising Zelensky's courage and determination, Biden mistakenly referred to him 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. The president quickly corrected himself but not before another confusing reference.

"President Putin, we're going to beat President Putin. President Zelensky. I'm so focused on beating Putin, we gotta worry about it. Anyway," he said.

Questions About Biden’s Readiness

Biden's frequent gaffes have increased pressure on him to reconsider his campaign for another term, particularly as he is currently 81 years old. His recent performances have sparked questions about his mental and physical suitability for the presidency.

During the so-called “big boy” press conference, Biden replied to questions with a preset list of reporters, largely focusing on his ability to manage another term. Despite the errors, Biden insisted the week's NATO summit was highly successful. "Have you seen a more successful conference? What do you think?" Biden asked the reporters.

Criticism Emerges

Biden's performance did not go unnoticed by political analysts. Jack Posobiec, a senior editor at Human Events, highlighted Biden's repetitive and self-interrupting speech patterns, stating, "Biden is somehow filibustering himself."

These observations underscore the concern from various corners about Biden's preparedness to continue effective presidential governance.

Ongoing Concerns and Public Perception

Concerns about Biden's readiness for another term are not new but have gained traction following this press conference. The clarity and decisiveness expected from a president seem increasingly scrutinized as Biden continues to make high-profile errors.

Moreover, the optics of administration members and some in the media lauding the press conference as a success despite the significant gaffes committed complicate public relations efforts.

Biden's supporters may find it challenging to allay the escalating fears about his age and acuity.

Conclusion

In summary, President Joe Biden's recent press conference was filled with notable verbal errors, including referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump" after earlier in the day referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin."

The events have prompted increased scrutiny of Biden’s ability to continue his campaign amidst mounting questions of his mental and physical capacity.

Despite insisting on the success of the conference, critics and analysts have pointed to these gaffes as further evidence of the challenges facing Biden’s re-election campaign.
