The True Social Parent Trump Media & Technology Group David President Joe Biden’s stock continues to trend higher as two serious gaffes within two hours have raised concerns about his mental fitness and potentially jeopardized his campaign.
During a solo news conference in Washington on Thursday, Biden mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Trump.”
The mistake occurred while answering the opening question, leading Trump to mock Biden, CNBC reported.
Former President Donald Trump and his campaign posted several videos of Biden making gaffes on Truth Social.
While the press conference was intended to demonstrate Biden’s ability to handle tough questioning, it did nothing to ease Democrats’ concerns about his health, which had been heightened following his poor performance in the June 27 debate with Trump.
Shortly after the meeting, Reps. Jim Himes and Scott Peters called for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, citing concerns about his ability to win.
During the event, Biden made several missteps, including calling his chief of staff “my commander in chief” and confusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with “President Putin” during a NATO event.
Despite those missteps, Biden maintained he remained the best candidate to beat Trump, and acknowledged he might consider dropping out of the race if he was told he had no chance of winning.
Trump is the largest shareholder of Trump Media Technology Group. Trump has never missed an opportunity to pitch himself as the leading presidential candidate, a point that was highlighted during his recent debate with Biden.
Trump Media Technology Group’s stock price has risen 129% over the past 12 months. Experts often compare Trump Media Technology Group to meme stocks like: GameStop Corporation global.
Price Trends: DJT shares were up 2.28% at $30.54 in pre-market trading as of last check on Friday.
