In his latest “senior moment,” everyone’s favorite “Gaffer in Chief” couldn’t recall who occupies the Oval Office, him or his VP. As Joe Biden welcomed the Las Vegas Gold Knights Stanley Cup champions to the White House, he, not for the first time, called Kamala Harris by the wrong name.
The 80-year-old President was welcoming the victorious Las Vegas hockey team to the White House when he called the Vice President “President Harris.” The octogenarian made yet another big mistake that is gaining the attention of the public as he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as the “President,” even though, of course, HE is the President.
“President Harris is here to make sure we do it the right way,” the actual President stated as he began the event. He later mispronounced her first name when addressing the Vice President.
“Everyone knows Joe Biden is senile,” one user claimed on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Biden has called the Vice President “President Harris” on six other occasions. Senile moments, a revealing tell of who really is pulling his strings, or maybe just wishful thinking on the part of the President, who would rather be taking a nap than running the most powerful nation in the world.
Biden is the oldest President in American history, though his doctor has previously given him a clean bill of health, meaning he can safely run for a second term.
This latest blooper comes just two days after President Biden was seen extremely disoriented and confused while attending a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day. After placing the wreath, he stood there for quite some time before he went to turn away from the memorial and walked away. However, he hesitated, seemingly stumbled a bit, and then seemed extremely confused by where he was at the time.
Biden turned to the service member who was standing next to the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier, looking at him as if he needed direction on where to go. The service member is seen stretching out his arm and directing Biden to get back in line next to the vice president for the remainder of the ceremony.
United States citizens took to social media after the video went viral, as many are calling the situation “embarrassing” and “pathetic.”
The Veterans Day stumble was far from the first time that the aging President made headlines for his seemingly concerning actions.
In June, he fell while on stage at the United States Air Force Academy Graduation in Colorado. Biden was the commencement speaker and had completed his speech before falling flat.
