The 46th President made his latest blunder during a speech at the White House to mark Greek Independence Day

Joe Biden has been involved in yet another gaffe as she struggles to get his own name right.

Biden, 81, prompted laughter after stumbling over his own words while discussing Barack Obama’s stint in the White House.


Obama, who selected Biden as his running-mate, was referred to by the 46th President as “O’Biden”.

Concerns about Biden’s age continue to threaten his re-election campaign.

A recent opinion poll found that only 38 percent of likely 2024 voters believe Biden will be alive at the end of another four-year term.

Questions about Biden’s age and competency also appear to have boosted Donald Trump’s chances of returning to the White House.

RealClearPolitics has given Trump an average lead of around 2.5 per cent.

JL Partners co-founder James Johnson has argued half a dozen states will decide who comes out on top on November 5.

Johnson, who worked as a pollster for Theresa May before relocating to New York, told GB News: “The US electorate is so polarised that no one is going to win big.

“As much as Trump might like New York to be in play or Biden might like Florida to be in play, we’re talking about those six key swing states.

“Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, that’s where it’s going to come down to and at the moment, it’s really tight.”

He added: “If you had to put a number on it, there’s a 60 per cent probability Trump will win.

“I think Trump has the advantage, but it’s 60 per cent, not 70 or 80. A lot can happen between now and November.

“A really key question we’re tracking is, 'what are people’s main memories of the Trump administration?' It’s basically two incumbents running. One former president and one current president.

“The top answer right now is a better economy. If that shifts away from Trump and it becomes more negative memories, then we may see the numbers shift. But at the moment, it’s Trump’s to lose.”

A recent Wall Street Journal poll found Trump leads Biden by between two and eight points in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.

However, the pair were neck-and-neck in the swing state of Wisconsin.
