Joe Biden was a senator for over 35 years ... but between 1973 and 2009. The video clip went around the internet on Tuesday, causing mockery. Especially since this blunder did not happen alone. During the same speech, he seemed to call on voters to vote for him or for " the other Biden ", chewing the last word.

Also on Monday, during another speech in South Carolina, Joe Biden touted his efforts as Barack Obama's right-hand man to convince China, then chaired by Xi Jinping, to join the Paris agreement on the climate, approved at the end of 2015. Except that he mentioned instead Deng Xiaoping, deceased for more than twenty years and who had left power in 1992. " It was I who, after meeting Deng Xiaoping, defended the idea that China would join (the deal) if it was put under pressure, "he said.

"So sad"

Long favorite in the polls but now down sharply, in second place, Joe Biden played big Saturday in the fourth vote of the Democratic primaries in South Carolina. He hopes to win this election to forget his first two pitiful results in Iowa and New Hampshire and present himself in a reinforced position at " Super Tuesday " next Tuesday, when 14 states vote, after a more encouraging second place in Nevada last weekend.

Already, they were reacting supporters of his rivals and Republican President Donald Trump. Because if Joe Biden has been known for a long time for his blunders, they today worry more about a candidate who is approaching 80 years and is seeking the highest political office in the United States.

" It's so sad, " tweeted Shaun King, a civil rights and personality advocate on Twitter, who supports the favorite for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, 78. " I sincerely would have liked him to retire and not impose on himself the difficulties of an electoral campaign, " he added.
