Circus session on NATO summit: Biden calls Zelenskyy 'President Putin,' refers to Harris as 'Vice President Trump'

President Joe Biden held his first solo press conference after NATO summit, less than a month after the debate, which left many questioning his presidential career.

Despite Biden insisting he's staying strong in the race, he had a few embarrassing gaffes.

During the press conference, Biden accidentally referred to his vice president, Kamala Harris, as Donald Trump.

"Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn't think she was qualified to be president," Biden said when answering a question on whether he believed Harris was qualified to be president.

Earlier in the day, during the NATO Summit, Biden accidentally introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 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," Biden said, before starting to leave the podium. "Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin."

Since Biden's poor debate performance on June 27, many top democrats have called on Biden to exit the race.
