On Thursday evening, Joe Biden was nearly an hour late to his highly anticipated press conference after he mistakenly referred to the Ukraine Compact with Zelensky as the “Ukraine Compact with President Putin.”
A teleprompter was set up for Biden’s address.

Biden began his press conference with a lengthy speech covering Ukraine, Russia, NATO, and inflation.
He repeatedly referenced Article 5 of NATO, raising concerns about his readiness for potential conflict.
Biden then made a significant gaffe when he referred to Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
“I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if I didn’t think she was not qualified to be president,” Biden said in response to a question about Harris’s qualifications for the presidency.
This slip-up raised further questions about his clarity and composure.
