US President Joe Biden, who is facing intense scrutiny amid questions over his age, gave no indication he would consider dropping out of the electoral race in a press conference that lasted almost an hour on Thursday. He fielded tough questions from reporters about his mental acuity after he made two verbal slips, including mistakenly referring to his Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump" and to Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin", triggering gasps in the room.
President Joe Biden used his highly anticipated news conference Thursday to deliver a forceful defense of his foreign and domestic policies, and batted away questions about his ability to serve another four years even as he flubbed a reference to Donald Trump in one of his first answers.
