The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, mocked Joe Biden after he referred to Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump."
On Thursday, during a press conference in which the Democratic leader was trying to demonstrate that he is capable of continuing in the White House, Biden made a mistake by calling Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump" and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
"Look, I wouldn't have chosen Vice President Trump as vice president if I didn't think she's qualified to be president," he said.
Trump immediately reacted with a message on his social media mocking the president and calling him "little man".
Joe the corrupt one has a serious case of Trump disorder syndrome," wrote the Republican politician on his social network, Truth Social. "Great job, Joe!" he mocked.
In response, Biden wrote on Twitter: "By the way: yes, I know the difference. One is a prosecutor and the other is a criminal," he said.
Kamala's association with Trump was not Biden's first slip-up of the day.
Hours before, during the closing of the NATO summit, when introducing the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, he referred to him as "President Putin."
On that occasion, he did realize his serious mistake and rectified it, justifying himself by saying that he was so focused on defeating Putin that he had made a mistake. Zelenski, for his part, took it humorously and stated, "I am better."
Despite Biden reaffirming his willingness to run for re-election in November, these lapses do not help him dispel doubts among his electorate and convince them of his mental health condition.
More and more figures close to him are advising that he should withdraw from the campaign and make way for others.
One of them is his friend, the famous actor George Clooney, a renowned Democratic activist, who wrote an article in the New York Times stating that Biden is too old to continue leading the country and warns that if he doesn't step down, the Party will lose the elections.
"I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As vice president and as president. I consider him a friend and I believe in him. I believe in his character. I believe in his morals. In the last four years he has won many of the battles he has faced. But the only battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can," he wrote.
"It's devastating to say, but the Joe Biden I saw three weeks ago at the fundraising event was not the Joe Biden of 2010. It wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. It was the same man we all saw in the debate," he added.
The former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, also suggested to the president that he reconsider his decision to stay in the race.
"It is up to the president to decide whether he will run for office. We are all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is of the essence," he said.
