“Folks, imagine what we can do next. Four more years. Pause,” Biden said before the crowd began a “four more years” chant.
The chants went on for roughly 20 seconds before Biden proclaimed to the crowd that “we are ready to move forward, not back.”
Biden’s likely opponent in November, former President Donald Trump, pointed out the gaffe shortly after, with his campaign sharing the clip and calling Biden “cognitively impaired.”
The president has had several gaffes and flubs, including previous instances where he appeared to be reading instructions out loud from a teleprompter.
In July 2022, Biden appeared to say, “End of quote. Repeat the line,” during a White House event. The White House claimed he said, “Let me repeat that line.”

During an Oval Office address last year, Biden again appeared to read a note from the teleprompter when he said, “Make it clear,” in the middle of remarks.
“We will have something that we do not seek — make it clear: We do not seek — we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia or fighting against Russia,” Biden said during a speech about the wars in Gaza and Ukraine in October.
