Biden’s big press conference - will he survive the weekend?
Episode description
US President Joe Biden has mistakenly introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” on stage at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit, at a ceremony marking the signing of a security agreement for Ukraine.
The gaffe came after what was meant to be a rousing speech from Biden on NATO’s enduring support for Ukraine in it’s war with Russia.
It was a bad start to a day that might make or break his political career, as he also followed the NATO summit by facing his first press conference with live questions from journalists in several months.
Is this the final straw for Joe Biden's campaign, or will he continue to fight for the chance to beat Donald Trump at the election in November? Matt Bevan, Journalist and host of America, If You’re Listening, joined Bension Siebert on The Briefing to give us his verdict.
