Double gaffe di Joe Biden al NATO summit: First introduces the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky like Vladimir Putin, then refers to Kamala Harris calling her Trump. But from the stage assures that he is determined to run for president: “I beat Trump once and I will do it again: I'm here to finish the job I started.” And he says he is "ready to talk to Putin if he calls me". Meanwhile Barack Obama e Nancy Pelosi they would speak privately expressing fears about how much harder it is getting to beat the tycoon. It reports it CNN citing some sources, according to whom the Democrats are pressuring the former US president and the former speaker of the House to help them understand what to do. Continue as you go the flight of the democrats themselves: at the end of the conference, Congressman Jim Himes has been added to those who ask Biden's withdrawal.
Biden, here's what he said
“Other people could beat Trump too but other candidates would have to start from scratch. I am the most qualified. No one has presented me with data that indicates that I do not have a path to victory,” Biden underlined from Washington during the NATO summit, underlining that in his opinion there will be no objections to the convention.
In fact, Biden has reiterated once again that he will not withdraw from the race for the White House. “I beat Donald Trump – she declared – and I will beat him a second time. I have a job to get done." In a press conference that lasted almost an hour, at the end of the NATO summit, answering a series of questions from the press, Biden reacted angrily to the calls made even by his party to step aside, after the disappointing performance in the television duel with Trump. There was a lot of anticipation among the Americans, and anxiety among the Democrats, for Biden's possible amnesia, the slips and signs of decline: there were empty passages, as when confused Kamala Harris with Trump, saying he “chose Trump as vice president because I believed she was qualified to be president.” His opponent took advantage of this to relaunch the pass up Truth, saying “well done Joe”.
The president admitted to having made mistakes in the TV duel at the end of June, “but also because I had exhausting hours, while Trump spent his time playing golf and keeping score.” Regarding NATO, Biden also reiterated that he is the “most qualified to ensure that Ukraine does not fall and can succeed against Russia", and revealed that the leaders of the allied countries did not ask him not to run, but to win, to "stop what is seen as a disaster".
Biden also recalled that since - in 2020 - he defined himself as a ferry candidate, the situation has changed, issuing a warning about "democracy under siege". The president mentioned “Project 2025”, the manifesto of the authoritarian turn created by a conservative think tank linked to Trump, and whose name appears in the text more than three hundred times. On Russia he said he "has no good reason to talk" with Russian President Vladimir Putin "until he changes his attitude", he recalled that "he will not kneel to Putin“, and warned China that helping Moscow in the war with Ukraine “will not lead to economic benefits”.
In the most problematic passage, the one in which he confused Harris with Trump, Biden, however, promoted his vice president, considered by many to be his possible replacement, defining her as "qualified from the very first moment to be president“. The question remains: Did Biden pass the test?
