President Joe Biden has been making gaffes for years and will continue to do so, one of his top aides warned on Friday.
“Joe Biden has been making gaffes for 40 years. He made a couple of last night. He will probably continue to do so,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said.
He was asked about the brutal gaffes Biden made a NATO on Thursday, including introducing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and calling Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
The admission that there are more gaffes to come is either brilliant political strategy or simply acquiescing to reality. Biden has made mistakes since he entered the White House and shows no signs of changing.
The White House didn’t address other controversial topics when it briefed reporters traveling to Michigan on Friday for the president’s campaign event in the critical battleground state.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say if Biden has spoke to former President Barack Obama since his disastrous debate performance.
Former Obama aides are among those working to pressure Biden to exit the presidential race and Obama is said to have gotten a head’s up from George Clooney that the actor was writing an op-ed calling for Biden to step down.
The campaign also wouldn’t address questions about Biden’s work habits after a report the president told governors he would stop working at 8 pm.
