Biden freezes before Medicare, jobs gaffes minutes into CNN debate with Trump

President Biden froze and then had a verbal blunder, saying he “beat Medicare,” minutes after he kicked off his debate with former President Donald Trump on Thursday and touted the “15,000 new jobs” he created as commander-in-chief. NY Post Reporter Victor Nava shares this story.

The 81-year-old president was discussing his record on the economy when he appeared to lose his train of thought.

“We be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the, with the COVID, excuse me, dealing with everything we have to do with…,” Biden said before freezing for several seconds.

Who are these 33% that said Biden won the debate. C'mon man

[franciscomireles]

All the 30 percent that say joey was the victor, are mentally gone just as joey

[bunk]

My Golden Retriever is available to replace Biden

[johnq.public]

Serve another 4 years? He will be lucky to serve another 4 days.

[ghostmantagshome-erpb]

Joe isn't lying he is just completely ' reality challenged'.

[Shelly-mt]

He is just a sleeper cell, someone else behind the scene has been running the show.

[jppalm]

I don't understand. Medicare comment

[ColAngus]

LOOK at him...Joe's like a Deer in the headlights.

I know Biden doesn’t want to admit he can’t do the job, but he needs to give it up. It is sad, even though I want Trump to win. Since Joe can’t make the decision because of his mental decline, his wife and those around him need to make it for him. They really should be ashamed that they let it go on this long.

[freddiecarr]

It isn't that bad---they sent the dancing robot instead of the debate robot!

[SC-cbpg]

He’s lied and plagiarized his entire career so at this point he probably thinks it’s all true. Smh…

[shauncorless]

Running for president , he couldn't even walk of stage 😮

[franklinj]

Sweet sweet Karma! Kinda like MAGA 🚂🇺🇸💯🎟️

[reginaldlagrone]

Joe responses are always mumbled, 2 minutes responses are probably too long because he gets tired.

[Paul-hwbk]

The debate is abusing human rights to an elderly man.

[MyDearWormwood]

Jill is always there….talking into his ear…leading him by the hand….helping him traverse a step off the podium….come on, Jill….have a heart. You have enough bucks to last for many lifetimes…..let him go rest on his laurels.
