## Biden calls Kamala Harris ‘Vice President Trump’ at top of error-laden ‘big boy’ press conference: ‘Qualified to be president’

Authored by nypost.com

WASHINGTON — President Biden stunned journalists Thursday by confusing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump at a closely watched press conference — shortly after he mixed up Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky at a different event.

“Crooked Joe begins his ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference with, ‘I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, though I think she was not qualified to be president.’ Great job, Joe!”

Asked for his thoughts on Trump using the gaffe to deride him, Biden gave a confusing, three-word response: “Listen to him.”.

Biden claimed he had last seen his neurologist, Dr. Kevin Cannard, in February, though his press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the visit was in January.

President Biden speaks at a news conference following the NATO summit in Washington.

Moments after the press conference ended, a 15th House Democrat said it was time for Biden to retire.

But we are losing time,” a Democratic source close to the White House told The Post before the press conference. »

As part of that effort, last year the IRS launched a series of initiatives aimed at pursuing high-wealth individuals who have failed to pay their tax debts.
