00:00 I met her on from Germany, I mean from France looked at me and said
00:04 President Joe Biden faced another instance of a verbal mix-up during a recent campaign speech in
00:12 Las Vegas where he seemed to confuse French President Emmanuel Macron with the late former
00:17 French leader Francois Mitterrand who passed away almost 30 years ago. Reportedly, Biden was
00:23 discussing an incident which occurred during the G7 leader meeting in Cornwall, England back in 2021.
00:30 Referring to Mitterrand from France, Biden shared a conversation with the German Chancellor
00:34 about potential unrest displaying a momentary confusion of leaders.
00:38 Reportedly, Biden said, "I was in the south of England and I sat down and I said, 'America is
00:44 back' and then Mitterrand from Germany, sorry I mean France, looked at me and said, 'You know what,
00:50 why, and how long for?'" He added, "And I looked at him and then the Chancellor of Germany stated,
00:55 'What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the London paper tomorrow?'" And the London
00:59 Times had stated, "A thousand people break through the House of Commons." President Joe Biden faced
01:04 another instance of a verbal mix-up during a recent campaign speech in Las Vegas.
01:09 Reportedly, Mitterrand served as the French President from 1981 to 1995 and died in 1996.
01:15 The incident adds to a series of verbal slips-up by President Biden, including last year when he
01:20 mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as President during a White House event.
01:25 He was also previously confused with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky with Russian President
01:29 Vladimir Putin addressing Zelensky as Vladimir. During his 2022 State of the Union address,
01:40 he also mistakenly mentioned Ukrainians instead of Iranians while discussing
01:44 Russian President Putin's invasion of Ukraine. And so, the public opinion indicates a concern
01:49 about Biden's age, with the majority of Americans expressing worries. Despite this,
01:55 the President-Doctor declared him healthy and fit for duty after a physical examination last year.
02:00 If Biden secures a second term, he would be 86 by the end of his tenure.
02:04 Yet, the issue of age and cognitive ability has gained attention in American politics.
02:10 Recently, Nikki Haley, a 51-year-old Republican who is seeking the presidential nomination,
02:15 advocated for a mandatory mental competency test for politicians over 85.
02:19 President Biden's verbal missteps contribute to the ongoing discussion about the fitness of office
02:25 and raising questions about age-related concerns. As the 2024 election approaches,
02:30 the incident may become more and more prominent in the political discourse surrounding Biden's
02:34 leadership and the broader debate about his age and mental competency in the elected officials.
