President Joe Biden campaigned alongside New York Governor Kathy Hochul at far-left liberal arts college Sarah Lawrence College on Sunday, where he tripped, slipped on questions of energy policy, and was heckled by those in the crowd.
Only a day after declaring that all coal jobs in the US would be eliminated, Biden told the crowd in Bronxville, NY that there would be "no more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven't formed any new drilling."
The Get Out the Vote event saw Biden nearly falling off the stage, as well as making claims that if Democrats hold Congress through the midterm elections on Tuesday, that party would go ahead and legalize abortion from the federal level.
"We're gonna codify Roe v. Wade in January and make it the law of the land," Biden said to cheering supporters.
Biden was interrupted by a protestor when discussing his advanced age, which will hit 80 this month. "I know I don't look it, but I've been around for a little while," Biden said before a protestor jumped in.

He also nearly fell off the stage.
Biden was on hand to boost Hochul's campaign for governor, her first, despite her being an incumbent. Hochul took charge of New York state after her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, was ousted from power by the progressive elements in the Democrat party.
Hochul, who won the Democrat primary, faces Lee Hochul in the general election. While his campaign took some time to pick up steam, he now leads in the polls, and has the support of New York's Jewish community, which has been facing increasing anti-semitism in the five boroughs of New York City.
Hochul has been slammed even by pundits on the left for the disastrous crime surge in New York City, spurred on by bail reform laws that, as police say, see criminals released without bail before officers have even complete the arrest paperwork.
Key to Hochul has been adjusting the language surrounding incarceration rather than actually dealing with crime. She signed legislation that requires the use of the term "incercerated indvidual" as opposed to the term "inmate."
