Biden’s Incredibly Awkward Blunder Is Hard To Watch

Biden needed to remember which world leader he would introduce at a press conference during the Quad summit on Saturday. Biden, 81, was supposed to introduce India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but he needed to know which of the three leaders he should name. "Thank you all for being here. Who am I introducing next?" "Who's next?" Biden shouted after finishing his speech. An announcer said Modi was next. The prime minister came up and shook hands with Biden. The video player is playing an ad. Skip the advertisement in 5 seconds with a mouse or keyboard. The outgoing president is hosting allies of the Quad alliance at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, for a two-day summit as foreign leaders travel to the US for the United Nations General Assembly meeting. The Quad is a group that counters China's influence. It includes the US, Japan, India, and Australia. India has the largest population in the world, with about 1.4 billion people. The US is the third-most populous country, with 333 million people. Biden had announced a global expansion of his Cancer Moonshot initiative earlier and recalled the death of his late son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. The new plan is a partnership between the four countries to reduce cancer deaths. Biden has made similar mistakes throughout his presidency. Last year, Biden bumped into a giant flag at the United Nations and didn't shake Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's hand. Biden is the oldest president in US history. If Trump wins the election on November 5th, he could be even older. Democrats pressured Biden to drop his reelection bid, making him a lame-duck president. On Friday, First Lady Jill Biden spoke up at a Cabinet meeting and hosted a Rose Garden event without the president. This weekend, Biden will meet with the leaders of the Quad Alliance for the last time before he leaves the White House. Biden wanted to add personal touches to the two-day summit and strengthen his relationship with the key allies. Later this week, he will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Since Russia invaded in February 2022, Zelensky has made five trips to the US. Zelensky will discuss a "Plan for Victory" with Biden, visit with Vice President Harris, and meet with former President Trump. He will also give a speech at the UN General Assembly in Manhattan. On Tuesday, Biden will speak at the UN and meet with other world leaders. Biden is expected to attend his last Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering in Peru and his previous G20 summit in Brazil. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1837642375113351200
