Awkward: Biden fumbles again while introducing PM Modi at Quad event

PTI, Washington: In yet another gaffe, US President Joe Biden experienced an embarrassing moment during a Quad event in Wilmington, Delaware, when he struggled to introduce Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This brief confusion, captured on camera, has sparked comments on social media. After finishing his speech at the Cancer Moonshot event on Saturday, Biden, 81, appeared to have forgotten the name of the next leader who was going to speak and asked his staffers. " So, I want to thank you all for being here. And now, who am I introducing next?" After a pause of a few seconds, he asked, this time in a louder voice, “Who's next?" There was an awkward silence in the audience.

A staff member finally pointed to the podium, leading to the introduction of Modi by the compere. “Distinguished guests, the Prime Minister of the Republic of India,” the announcer said, as Modi walked towards the podium. Biden then put his arm around Modi's shoulder and cracked a joke. The embarrassing moment involving the US President, who is no stranger to public gaffes, was caught on camera and widely shared on social media.
