Biden mixes up names of world leaders during NATO Summit in Washington

President Joe Biden mixing up the names of officials during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Summit in Washington, D.C. highlights his cognitive decline and undermines his viability for a second term.

The mix-up happened in a July 11 speech the 81-year-old Biden delivered during the summit. He mistakenly introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President [Vladimir] Putin,” the leader of Russia – which is currently at war with Zelensky’s nation. Biden immediately realized his mistake, returning to the microphone to clarify that Zelensky is going to beat Putin.

Hours later at the same event, Biden mixed up the name of Vice President Kamala Harris with that of former President Donald Trump – the latter he is set to face in November. “Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [if I] think she was not qualified for the president,” he remarked. Unlike the Zelensky gaffe, Biden did not seem to catch that mistake at the time.

According to the South China Morning Post, the July 11 news conference was organized to show that Biden has the stamina and ability to continue a second term. “I’m determined on running, but I think it’s important that I allay fears,” he told attendees of the NATO summit.

For years, Biden has been hounded by issues that he has been suffering cognitive decline. Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media (MSM) hugely suppressed the conversation, but it came into full view during the June 27 presidential debate organized by CNN in Atlanta.

The mix-ups of the names of Zelensky and Harris, coupled with the dismal debate performance, fueled talks among Democrats and the MSM over Biden’s status as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Costa: Calls for Biden to step aside weaken after Trump assassination attempt

But almost instantly after the press conference ended, three Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives joined the growing chorus of legislators calling on Biden to step aside. This included Connecticut Rep. Jim Hines, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.

One unnamed member of a NATO delegation said after the press conference that their nation’s leader did not believe Biden could survive the crisis gripping his presidency. The summit was nevertheless lauded by most participants for its substance.

Biden’s cognitive decline dominated political headlines until the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The former U.S. president narrowly missed being shot by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the gunman killed one audience member and critically wounded two others. The attack has since dominated the political conversation, according to LifeSiteNews.

A day after the failed assassination attempt, Robert Costa of CBS News shared that those trying to pressure Biden into withdrawing from the race are “standing down” in the wake of the attack on Trump.

“I’ve been speaking with some top Democrats. They believe that those Democrats who have the concerns about President Biden are now standing down politically [and] will back President Biden because of this fragile political moment,” he said.

“All of that talk about the debate faded almost instantly among my top Democratic sources as this unfolded. Say it’s time for the country to stick together, and that means Democrats sticking together as well.”
