Biden misidentifies Kamala Harris, calls her Trump

In a surprising moment during a high-stakes press conference on Thursday, President Joe Biden inadvertently referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”

The slip occurred while Biden was addressing the qualifications of his vice president.

“Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if she was not qualified to be president. So start there,” Biden said, quickly correcting himself to clarify that he was referring to Kamala Harris.

President Biden emphasized that he selected Kamala Harris as his vice president because she is eminently qualified to be president. He highlighted her extensive career as a senator and prosecutor before assuming the vice presidency. In response to a reporter’s question, Biden praised Harris’s performance, particularly her advocacy for women’s reproductive freedoms over the past four years.

“She is qualified to be president,” Biden affirmed. “That’s why I picked her.”

Despite the verbal gaffe, Biden’s remarks reinforced his belief in Harris’s qualifications and her role in advancing key policy issues.

The incident quickly garnered attention, with political commentators and social media users reacting to the mix-up.
