In a recent public appearance, President Joe Biden once again erroneously referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Harris.” The incident took place on Monday, November 13, during a White House event honoring the Las Vegas Gold Knights, the Stanley Cup champions.
The President’s verbal slip-up quickly garnered attention, as it marked another instance in a series of similar gaffes. Notably, this is not the first time that President Biden has mistakenly addressed Vice President Harris with the presidential title.
Observers and critics were quick to express their concerns, citing the incident as an example of President Biden’s repeated missteps. Some have suggested these instances could potentially undermine the credibility of the administration, while others argue they are harmless errors.

Despite the criticism, the White House has yet to issue a formal comment or clarification regarding the incident. In previous instances of such errors, the administration has largely dismissed them as simple mistakes.
Vice President Harris, on her part, has continued to focus on her duties, working in partnership with President Biden on several key issues, including vaccination efforts, economic recovery, and child poverty reduction.
It remains to be seen how the administration will address these recurrent errors. However, what is clear is that these gaffes continue to draw significant attention, fueling ongoing debates about the current state of the Presidency.
