President Joe Biden touted his accomplishments, including leading what he called “the most successful” NATO conference ever this week, during a Thursday press conference. He also reiterated his plan to stay in the presidential race, despite widespread calls for him to drop out.

While he was stronger and far more focused than on the night of his now infamous debate against the former president, he did misspeak multiple times throughout the press conference — the most notable being referring to “Vice President Trump” early in the event, when he appeared to be referring to VP Kamala Harris.

After White House staff wrapped the event, one reporter shouted that Trump was now using the gaffe to mock Biden’s age, but the president was already being led away.
