At his long-awaited press conference at the end of the NATO summit, US President Joe Biden mixed up names in the first question. A reporter asked Biden what he thought about the chances of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Republican challenger Donald Trump in the presidential election if she were to run for the Democrats.
Biden responded: “Look, I would not have chosen Vice President Trump as vice president if I didn’t think she was qualified to be president.” Hours earlier, at a key point in a speech on the final day of the NATO summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s name was compared to that of the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin reversed. Biden often confuses names and places when he speaks freely.
