  • President Joe Biden delivered his first press conference of 2024 amid questions about his future.
  • In response to a question about VP Harris, he referred to her as "Vice President Trump."
  • It was the first major gaffe he made at the press conference.

At a press conference after the conclusion of this week's NATO summit on Thursday, President Joe Biden referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump."

The apparent gaffe, the first he made at the press conference, came in response to a question about whether he had concerns about Harris's ability to beat Trump if she were at the top of the ticket.

"Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn't think she was not qualified to be vice president," said Biden.
