I'm doing well": Biden aims to dispel doubts about mental fitness during campaign appearance
Later, Biden wanted to give a speech in Detroit. In it, the 81-year-old wanted to warn against the "nightmare" of a second term for his Republican rival Donald Trump.
After Biden's disastrous and chaotic performance in the TV debate with Trump about two weeks ago, the oldest president in US history finds himself confronted with an increasingly heated debate about his physical and mental fitness for the presidency, not only within his own party.
Biden fueled doubts about his mental fitness for a second term on Thursday with two new major gaffes. The 81-year-old introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin" and referred to his deputy Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump."
Meanwhile, the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, said he had met with Biden on Thursday evening. He expressed the "full range" of insights, perspectives, and conclusions on the way forward, Jeffries said. He made no further comments.
