July 5th 2024.
On the 4th of July, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stood together on the Truman Balcony of the White House, ready to address the American people. It was a crucial moment for Biden, who was still recovering from a disastrous performance in the first debate against former President Donald Trump. At 81 years old, he knew that every public remark he made would be heavily scrutinized.
During a radio interview with WURD black radio station host Andrea Lawful-Sanders, Biden made a gaffe that caused quite a stir. He mistakenly referred to himself as the "first black woman" to serve in the White House, when he meant to say he was proud to serve as Vice President with the first black President, Barack Obama. Without realizing his mistake, he went on to say that he was proud to have appointed the first black woman to the Supreme Court, and that there was so much they could accomplish together as a country.
This was just one of many blunders that Biden had during the interview, which lasted less than 15 minutes. He also claimed that he was the first President to be elected statewide in Delaware "when he was a kid," which puzzled many. His campaign spokesperson, Ammar Moussa, dismissed reports of these verbal stumbles as "absurd," stating that it was a normal speech pattern for Biden and had been throughout his entire career.
Despite his shaky performance in the interview, Biden seemed to have more energy when addressing the crowd at the White House for Fourth of July celebrations. However, he still appeared confused and stumbled over his words at times. He even began his speech with a strange, "Ho ho ho! Happy Independence Day!"
Standing by his side was Vice President Harris, who introduced him as "extraordinary." However, even she slipped up and referred to Biden as the President, causing speculation that she may replace him at the top of the ticket for the November election. Harris quickly corrected her mistake, but it only added fuel to the rumors.
All eyes were on Biden as he prepared for a high-stakes interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, set to air the following evening. Many saw this as a make-or-break moment for his reelection bid. According to reports, Biden confided in an ally that he knew the stakes were high and that he couldn't afford to have another disastrous event like the first debate. He was determined to salvage his campaign.
