Biden fumbles, snaps at staffers after forgetting he was supposed to introduce Indian PM on stage

A confused-looking President Biden fumbled and snapped at staffers after forgetting which world leader he was supposed to introduce at a press conference event for a during the Quad summit Saturday.

Biden, 81, was supposed to call India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the stage, but appeared to be unsure which of the three visiting heads of government he was meant to name.

“Thank you all for being here and now, uhh, who am I introducing next? Who’s next?” Biden shouted after wrapping up his remarks.

An announcer then revealed that Modi — the head of the world’s largest democracy — was up next and the prime minister came up and shook hands with Biden soon thereafter.

The Quad — established to help counter the influence of China — includes the US, Japan, India and Australia.

“By the way, he’s from a small country like ours. A small population like ours,” Biden then joked while embracing Modi, 74. “He’s become a good and decent man. A good friend.”
