Joe Biden’s officials were seen in a video when he called Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
Some of President Joe Biden’s White House Cabinet members were seen reacting to his gaffe during a press conference on Thursday in a now-viral clip on social media.
In post on X, formerly Twitter, C-SPAN Social Media Specialist Jeremy Art posted a video of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan during the moment Biden called Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
In the video, Biden can be heard saying, “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president. Do I think she’s not qualified to be president, so let’s start there, number one.”
In the reaction footage, Blinken shifts his eyes downward, and Sullivan moves to put his hand near his mouth and thumb under his chin. Austin maintains a steady straight forward gaze, only momentarily nodding his head once.
The post on X had amassed 1.8 million views as of 9:45 p.m. ET.
Biden survived Thursday’s high-stakes press conference and people on social media noted his clearly delivered comments on foreign affairs and national security.
