Biden's attempt to calm voters backfired as he made two mistakes.

Facing mounting pressure from members of his own party to drop out of the presidential race, Joe Biden's recent media appearances were intended to assure Democrats and voters that he is still capable of serving another four years as President. However, instead of easing concerns, his appearances only added to them as he made two embarrassing gaffes. During one event, he mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as Donald Trump, and just hours later, he mixed up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with President Putin.

These were not the only blunders made by Biden in recent days. His first formal solo news conference since the disastrous presidential debate was another crucial moment for him to prove himself on the world stage. However, it didn't go as planned. During the conference, Biden was asked about Harris' abilities to potentially step into his role as President. In response, he stated, "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if I didn't think she was qualified to be President. Let's start there." This statement caused confusion and raised doubts about Biden's mental sharpness.

Earlier in the week, Biden made another mistake when he mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin." He quickly corrected himself, saying, "I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage and determination as he has - please welcome President Putin." These blunders only added to the growing concerns about Biden's ability to lead the country.

Despite these challenges, Biden remains determined to stay in the race. In a recent interview, he stated that he is "100 percent in" and that he has the support of his aides. However, some of his aides have privately expressed doubts about his chances of winning the election. They are taking their cues from Biden and will continue to support him as long as he is willing to stay in the race.

One reporter even asked Biden about his role as a "bridge candidate" who will pass the torch to a younger generation. In response, Biden cited the current state of the economy, foreign policy, and domestic division as reasons for why he wants to finish his term as President. He believes that his long career in the Senate has prepared him to lead and get things done. He also mentioned that he has passed major legislation that people didn't think would happen, and he wants to finish what he started.

Despite the growing pressure for Biden to step down, his allies are prepared to stand by him. They are aware that there will be more calls for him to drop out, but it is not clear if there is a number of lawmakers or celebrities that could convince him to reconsider his decision. Overall, Biden remains determined to stay in the race, citing the importance of finishing the job and the current threats to democracy.
