Press Releases
Joe Biden was caught making another public blunder when he read out a prompt to “pause” from a teleprompter.
The President, 81, had been speaking at a trade union event in Washington when he struggled with reading from the autocue.
Addressing a crowd of several hundred people, Biden listed his achievements in office, before saying: “Imagine what we could do next. Four more years.”
He then added: “Pause.”
Joe Biden embarrassingly struggles with autocue in his latest gaffeGettyThe break is believed to have been added by his aides in hopes that the brief silence would allow the crowd to chant “four more years” back at him.
The President then appeared to laugh off the blunder as the room erupted in chants of “four more years”.
Prior to the gaffe, Biden spoke about his vision of America: “I see an America where we defend democracy, not diminish it. I see an America where we protect freedoms, not take them away.
“I see an economy that grows a lot in the bottom up where the wealthy pay their fair share, so we can have child care, paid leave and so much more, and still reduce the federal deficit and increase economic folks.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Biden, who frequently misspeaks and makes blunders in public, has referred to himself as a “gaffe machine”.
Just a day before the auto prompt slip-up, the 46th President misspoke once again, this time mistakenly admitting that he “can’t be trusted”.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Tampa on Tuesday ahead of Florida’s six-week abortion ban, he made several references to Republican rival Donald Trump.
He said: “I don’t know why we’re surprised by Trump.
“How many times does he have to prove we can’t be trusted?”

Audience members were left cackling after Biden’s blunder as the Commander-in-Chief was seemingly unaware of his mistake.
Concerns about Biden’s age continue to threaten his re-election campaign.
A recent opinion poll found that only 38 per cent of voters believe Biden will be alive at the end of another four-year term.
The 81-year-old was forced to step in after special counsel Robert Hur’s report that highlighted the president’s “significantly limited” memory over a probe into the 46th President’s classified documents.
“My memory is fine,” he insisted in a White House briefing. Biden gave an emotional response to a claim he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”
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.
