After President Joe Biden arrived over two hours late to his evening presser on Thursday, he called Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump."
The delayed presser comes as Biden has been facing mounting pressure about dropping out of the race due to questions surrounding his mental and physical capacity at age 81.

In the case with Zelensky, Biden said, "And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin."
