The president of United States, Joe Biden, He went through several uncomfortable situations before resigning his candidacy for reelection, but the tenor of the events began to worsen almost a month ago, when at times he seemed slow and lost in the debate in front of Donald Trump.
From that night of June 27, the questions that already existed from outside regarding Biden’s candidacy began to multiply among the members of the party themselves. Democratic Party, who, first in private and then in public, suggested the possibility of lowering it, generating a shock that will continue to be felt in the coming days.
Joe Biden’s performance in the debate with Donald Trump
In the debate, Biden He was hesitant in front of a Trump who took advantage of the situation and appeared self-assured, criticizing the current US administration and repeating several statements that have already been proven false, but which the Democrat could not refute.
In addition, the head of state exhibited a series of slip of the tongue which made it difficult for him to finish some sentences, something that the former US president took advantage of to suggest that “not even he” had understood his statements, although without directly mentioning his age (81 years).
The mistake of confusing Vladimir Putin with Volodimir Zelensky
The public mistakes happened in the public sphere and, before the eyes of the world, at the height of the NATO in Washington, Biden introduced the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, confusing it with its Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with whom he is at war.
However, the Ukrainian president later decided to downplay the situation. “It’s a mistake. I think the United States has given a lot of support to the Ukrainians. We can forget some mistakes, I really think so,” he told the Irish press.
In fact, after learning of the decision today, Zelensky exclaimed: “Ukraine is grateful to President Biden for his unwavering support in the fight for her freedom, which, along with bipartisan support in USA, “has been and remains key. Many bold decisions have been taken in recent years, and they will be remembered as bold steps taken by President Biden in response to challenging times.”
However, that same night, the American president also called Donald Trump to his vice president Kamala Harris, which only increased doubts about his health within the Democratic Party.
He mistook a woman for Jill Biden and almost kissed her
The latest of the incidents occurred this week, when during a reception at the White House He mistook another woman for his wife, Jill Biden, and even came close to trying to kiss her.
In the video, he can be seen approaching a woman in a blue dress and begins to talk to her closely and even appears to try to kiss her. Jill Biden quickly approaches and removes him from the situation, although in the images the president appears to be confused when he realizes that the other woman was not his wife.
That was perhaps the straw that broke the camel’s back, since 13 Democratic legislators expressed their dissatisfaction with Biden’s candidacy on Friday, echoing that the now former candidate had lost the support of several leaders, major donors and he didn’t even have numbers to support him in the polls.
