“It took the presenter to help him get out of his interview,” added Donald Trump, accusing the media of “covering” this incident.
The Democratic candidate spoke Sunday evening during a virtual concert in support of his campaign. “Four more years with George …, George …” he began before pausing.
“If Trump is re-elected, we will find ourselves in another world,” he continued, sitting next to his wife Jill Biden.
The video clip looped on Monday in conservative media, which wondered if Joe Biden was referring to former presidents George W. Bush or his father George Bush.
The Democrat is known for his repeated blunders. A former stutterer, he also assumes a speech defect.
But for his opponents, his slips reveal a decline in form. Donald Trump even accused him of taking medication and called for a doping test before their first debate.
