The poor performance in the presidential debate was the straw that broke the camel’s back of the doubts that existed within the Democratic Party regarding the candidacy of Joe Biden to the elections that will be held in November in USA.
The truth is that the questions within his own party had been going on for a long time and were deepening every time the president made a new mistake that called into question his position in time and space.
Biden’s mistakes have increased in recent years and his image has become a source of ridicule for much of the United States and the rest of the world and a key element in Trump’s campaign, which dreams of returning to the presidency.
Joe Biden’s biggest mistakes, failures and blunders during his presidency
He confused Zelensky with Putin
On July 11, during the NATO summit, Biden confused the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskywith the Russian president Vladimir Putin. “And now I would like to give the floor to the President of Ukraine, who has both courage and determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”said the US president who hosted the event.
He called his own vice president “Trump”
The same day he made the mistake at NATO he called his vice president Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
Biden said he was proud to be “the first black woman to be a black president”
On July 4, Biden gave a television interview to improve his image, but he failed and ended up making things worse. In a moment of confusion, he said he was proud to have been “the first black woman to serve under a black president.”
He confused the war between Ukraine and Russia with the one in Iraq
In November 2022, Biden confused the Iraq war with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. “Inflation is a global problem right now because of the war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia is doing,” he said during a speech in the state of Florida. He then explained that he often thinks about Iraq because his son Beau died there.
He forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense
In March 2021, during a press conference, Biden forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, whom he named as “The guy who runs that team over there.”
“And I want to thank the sec, the, the, ah, former general. I still call him general, but my, my… the guy who runs that team there,” the US president said as a way out of the situation.
He asked about a dead congresswoman
In September 2022, at the closing of a conference on “Hunger, food and health”, the president asked about the presence of Jackie Walorskia congresswoman who had died in August. “Is Jackie here?”Biden asked, forgetting that a month earlier he had sent his condolences to the congresswoman’s family.
He confused the president of Egypt with that of Mexico
In February 2024, the American president confused the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, with that of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
“I am of the view, as you know, that the behavior in the response in Gaza, in Gaza City, has been exaggerated. I think, as you know, initially the president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open the door to allow humanitarian material to enter. I spoke with him,” Biden said at a press conference.
He made water in the presidential debate
On June 27, Biden was overwhelmed by Trump in the presidential debate, which had an audience of more than 50 million viewers. He looked lost and stammering in the face of a more aggressive Trump.
The name of his Secretary of Defense was forgotten again
On July 18, during an interview, Biden again forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense, whom he called a “black guy.” “It’s all about treating people with dignity. And it’s about… Look, for example, the debates I’m getting because… um… name the… the… the Secretary of Defense… the black guy,” the Democratic president said to get out of the bind.
