Joe Biden makes multiple slips of the tongue and worries the Democratic camp

Joe Biden had set himself the goal of reassuring Americans. However, when he invited the Ukrainian president to speak, he made a slip of the tongue: “Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin!”. Before recovering: “Excuse me, he’s going to beat Putin!”The laughter in the room barely conceals the general unease. Two weeks after his catastrophic face-off with Donald Trump, this is fueling the debate about his clairvoyance.

For an hour, Joe Biden seemed clearer, more combative and more offensive towards his rival. He defended the continuation of his candidacy but reversed the name of Donald Trump with that of Vice President Kamala Harris. His Republican rival reacted with irony. Joe Biden counter-attacked a few hours later: “I can see the difference: one is a prosecutor, the other is a repeat offender.” New Democratic lawmakers have asked him to drop his bid. Despite the cracks in his camp and Democratic donors pulling their funds, Joe Biden has no intention of stepping down.
