John Fetterman, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania who is still struggling with his speech after suffering a stroke earlier this year, mistakenly referred to Joe Biden as “Joe Bin” during recent radio interview that is now going viral among conservatives on social media.
In the interview, Fetterman was asked if he would support a Biden 2024 reelection bid, as many Democrats have begun to call for the 79-year-old president not to seek a second term.
“I think that should be a decision made by Joe Bin,” Fetterman said of Biden.
Q: “Should Joe Biden run again in 2024?”

The video of Fetterman’s latest gaffe was posted on Twitter by RNC Research, who in a subsequent video alleges that the candidate refuses to definitely say if he would support Biden running for president again in two years.

Fetterman’s cognitive abilities, similarly to that of Biden, have been repeatedly questioned by conservatives following the candidates suffering of a massive stroke earlier in his campaign.
In one instance, Fetterman showcased his knowledge of the National Football League during a recent campaign speech, leaving many social media users confused after appearing to forget the name of an NFL team.
Fetterman brought up the Philadelphia Eagles in an apparent attempt to create a relatable moment with the audience.
“The Eagles are so much better than … the Eagles,” recent stroke victim Fetterman shouted, making a pained expression after saying the same team name twice.

In September, Fetterman was observed struggling to form sentences during remarks made before a group of steelworkers.

“Please understand the stakes in this race. Send me to Washington, D.C. to send-so I can work with Senator Casey, and I can champion the union way of life in Jersey-in, excuse me, in D.C. Thank you-thank you very much, it’s an honor,” Fetterman struggled to say.
“I live eight minutes away from here. And when I leave tonight, I got, three miles away, Dr. Oz, in his mansion in New Jersey, you’ve got a friend and you have an ally. Send me to Washington D.C.,” Fetterman stuttered.
