President Joe Biden has came out and said he would be ‘doing 9/11‘ as he was quizzed by reporters ahead of the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Speaking outside of the White House ahead of the presidential debate, the 81-year-old said: ‘I’m going up to my granddaughters birthday in New York.
‘Then we are going to watch the debate, then tomorrow we are doing 9/11. I spoke to the Vice President, she is calm, cool and collected.’
The president’s remark concerning the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America caused some on social media to raise their eyebrows at his phrasing.

On social media platform X, one person commented: ‘Biden’s slip-ups are endless. You’d think someone would double-check his scripts by now.’
Another posted: ‘Yup… He done’, while someone added: ‘Gotta be honest until I saw that ‘tomorrow I’m doing 9/11′ clip just now I kind of forget Joe Biden was even alive.’
A Trump campaign associated X account shared the clip, saying: ‘This is the humiliating cognitive decline Kamala Harris COVERED UP.’
It is the latest in a long line of blunders for the commander in chief who stepped down from his reelection race after a disastrous debate performance against Trump.
