The US President's worst ever gaffes came at a NATO summit in Washington and left his political future further hanging by a thread.
Barack Obama has for the first time expressed private concerns about Joe Biden 's chances of beating Donald Trump as the US President muddled President Zelensky with President Putin and then called Kamala Harris 'Vice President Trump'.
Mr Obama and Ms Pelosi are still considering what action to take, CNN reports, as a Detroit Democrat congresswoman went public and said he must stand aside 'for the good of democracy'. President Joe Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as 'President Putin ' in a brutal gaffe at the NATO summit with his political future hanging by a thread
And later it got worse for Biden when a reporter asked whether Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump - and he answered in excruciating fashion. The New York Times is reporting that Biden's long-serving aides are devising ways to persuade him to step down as the election campaign increasingly focusses on his cognitive ability.
'We just have too much at stake in this election to sit on the sidelines and be silent while we still have time to do something,' she told The Detroit News. One of his worst gaffes yet came in front of global allies and shortly before his pivota press conference that could be the final nail in the coffin for his hopes of remaining as the Democratic candidate.
House Speaker Mike Johnson also said that NATO leaders have privately told him they are 'deeply concerned' about the president's physical and mental health. The 81-year-old facing mounting calls to drop out of the presidential race said: 'Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin' The embarrassing flub in front of world leaders sparked gasps and those in the room had to shout the correct name
In the two weeks since the first president debate, Biden has not been able to reassure Democrats he is capable of defeating Donald Trump in November.At the time of his massive hiccup with Zelensky, 15th House Democrats and one Democratic Senator had called on him to step aside. Biden has also been given large-print notecards with the most basic of instructions written on them for almost every event and kept to a tighter daily schedule so he can get more sleep.
