President Joe Biden referred to “President Harris” in a viral video while talking about his Vice President Kamala Harris on November 13, 2023.
“President Harris there to make sure we do this the right way,” Biden said in the video, which you can watch below.
The comment comes as a top Democratic strategist raised questions about Biden’s age. According to a Politico article highlighting the concerns, Biden called Democratic strategist David Axelrod, who has been critical of the president recently, a “prick.”
Biden is 80 years old. Former President Donald Trump, who is leading the Republican candidates in the polls, is 77. Trump had his own gaffe on video when he mixed up Biden and former President Barack Obama during a campaign stop, according to Newsweek.
According to Fox News, Biden has referred to Kamala Harris as the president on at least six other occasions.
