You have to wonder: Is this just his dementia acting up, or is it an outward manifestation of wishful thinking on his part? The possibility is the latter resides in the fact things have not been running all that smoothly since Joe Biden took the oath of office. He has created a crisis on the southern border of unimaginable proportions while provoking his Russian counterpart into challenging him to a live debate.
Whatever the answer, he was at it again on Wednesday. He was taking another victory lap over his single-handed conquest of COVID when he referred to his vice president as “President Harris.”

The hardest hit that have suffered the most — especially black, Latino, Native American, and rural communities. We believe speed and efficiency must be matched with fairness and equity, now when President Harris and I took a virtual tour of vaccination center in Arizona not long ago, one of the nurses on that tour injecting people, giving vaccinations, said that each shot was like administering a dose of hope. [Emphasis added]
This is not the first time the gaffe machine has made this error. Back in December, he offered the American people a two-fer:
I hope the president will clearly and unambiguously urge all Americans to take the vaccine once it’s available. I took it to instill public confidence in the vaccine. President-elect Harris took hers today for the same reason. [Emphasis added]
Maybe Biden’s condition is contagious. Last September, before the election, Harris made reference to “a Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States.” Or maybe her confusion was for real since Biden had told a crowd in February of the year that he was a “candidate for the U.S. Senate.” (RELATED: Biden calls Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, ‘Kamala’s wife’)
