WASHINGTON (TND) — Twice in one week, President Joe Biden has mistakenly referred to the war in Iraq instead of Ukraine.
It happened once at a campaign event in Maryland last Tuesday and then again speaking about Russian President Vladimir Putin Wednesday at the White House.
"It's hard to tell, but he's clearly losing the war in Iraq," the president told reporters.
“What it shows to the rest of the world, our world leaders, is that we are weak and we're vulnerable. And that's a very dangerous place for the United States to be," said Priscilla Rahn, a Republican foreign policy analyst and the Republican candidate for Douglas County commissioner in Colorado.
Rahn said she is worried about the president representing the country on the world stage.
“We are seeing our president compromise our national security to countries like Russia, China," she said.
However, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is defending the president and his record.
"I wish you could be in a room with him the way I often am, seeing how he is simultaneously focused on a big-picture vision and very focused on details," Buttigieg said.
In a recent
NBC News poll, 68% of voters said they are concerned that Biden doesn't have the necessary mental and physical health to be president.
Similar numbers in a
Washington Post-ABC News poll, where more than six in 10 Americans say the same.
