Brutal gaffe of Biden, calls Zelenskyy “President Putin”

Biden promptly apologized for the error, attributing it to being “so focused on beating” the Russian strongman.

“Ladies and gentlemen — President Putin. President Putin,” Biden said, before catching his mistake.

“He’s gonna beat President Putin, President Zelenskyy,” Biden then said.

Zelenskyy deftly handled the flubbed introduction, quipping, “I’m better.”
Biden replied, “You are a hell of a lot better.”

Nevertheless, the gaffe is expected to intensify demands from congressional Democrats for the 81-year-old president to reconsider his run for a second term.
