President Joe Biden’s blunders just keep on coming.
Ahead of a massive press conference Thursday evening, Biden mistakenly called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy his Russian war adversary “President Putin.”
“And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen: President Putin,” Biden said in the flub going viral.
Biden then corrected himself amid a round of applause.
“President Putin? We’re gonna beat President Putin,” Biden said. “President Zelenskyy. I’m so focused on beating Putin, we got to worry about it. Anyway, Mr. President.”
Zelenskyy then responded, “I’m better.”
“You are a helluva lot better,” Biden responded.
Then during the evening press conference amid growing calls for Biden to exit the race, he mistakenly called Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
Biden said in response to the first question of the press conference, “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn’t think she was qualified to be president, so let’s start there.”

A few seconds later corrects himself. “He’s going to beat President a Putin..I’m so focused on beating Putin, we have to worry about it.”
