President Biden continues to slip up despite calls for withdrawal

In a week fraught with gaffes and mounting criticism, President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump” and later confused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

These verbal missteps have intensified calls from within his own party for Biden to reconsider his re-election bid.

Despite touting his extensive experience and achievements on the world stage, the 81-year-old Joe Biden has faced growing skepticism about his ability to secure a second term.

His recent debate performance against former President Donald Trump exacerbated these concerns, with some Democratic donors and supporters expressing doubts about his viability as a candidate.

At a press conference following the NATO summit in Washington, Biden defended his track record, highlighting his efforts to strengthen NATO and support Ukraine. Yet, his mix-up of key political figures and a visibly faltering demeanor did little to alleviate worries about his age and mental acuity.

A White House official admitted uncertainty about whether the press conference would bolster support on Capitol Hill. While some donors praised Biden’s performance, others remained unconvinced. Prominent Democrats, including Representative Jim Himes, have publicly urged Biden to step aside, advocating for a stronger candidate to challenge Trump in the upcoming election.

The campaign’s internal struggles reflect a broader unease. Reports indicate that some advisors are exploring strategies to persuade Biden to withdraw, while polling suggests a tight race with Trump, with both candidates tied at 40% support.

Biden’s team remains focused on key battleground states, but the path to re-election appears increasingly fraught with obstacles.
