Washington: During the NATO summit, President Joe Biden stunned the audience when he introduced Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky as Putin to the members present. Zelensky, standing next to him, was also laughing softly.
The mistake made by the President before addressing a press conference on Thursday evening is sure to hamper his re-election bid. Due to this mistake of the President, many members of his own party, the Democratic Party, are asking him to withdraw from the presidential race. Not only this, but Hollywood actor George Clooney, who donated millions of dollars to the party for that election, is also asking him to withdraw from the race. Apart from this, five MPs of his own party have also written a letter requesting him to withdraw from the 'race'. Nevertheless, Biden wants to bid for the presidency for a second time.
Introducing Zelensky to NATO delegates on Thursday, Biden said, “Let me introduce President Putin to you.” Zelensky laughed at that time. But then he immediately retorted, “He is much better than Putin.”
In fact, Joe Biden was also lashing out at Buffett during the debate against former President Donald Trump. Since then, questions have been raised about his ability to carry out his duties as president.
It is noteworthy that after this speech, Biden was leaving the assembly hall, when suddenly he returned and said, 'President Putin? By this I mean that President Zelensky is fully capable of defeating Putin.'
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tried to avoid President Biden's mistake by saying, “Such slips of the tongue should be avoided”. If you look closely at everyone, you will find that such 'slips of the tongue' keep happening.
French President Emmanuel Macron also said during the summit he looked healthy and strong as if he had taken charge, while British Prime Minister Keir-Starmer said he seemed in full form.
All this is to say, but 81-year-old Biden is now tired. Many people believe that he should withdraw from the contest.
