Joe Biden made an embarrassing appearance on election day.
The Democrat mistook his granddaughter for his dead son and even referred to her as a "Senator".
He creates ridicule and pity.
In the
US election in 2020
* Donald Trump fights against Joe Biden.
Biden was presented as
senile
by Trump several times during the election campaign
.
During an
election day appearance
,
Biden made
an embarrassing slip that supports Trump's theory.
You can find an overview of the election results in the individual US states in our overview.
Philadelphia - Donald Trump had a clear campaign strategy for his opponent Joe Biden: He wanted to portray him as senile because of his advanced age.
On election day, Biden played Trump in the cards in this regard.
During a performance in "Swing State" Pennsylvania *, he made several gross
memory errors
.
US election 2020: Biden confuses granddaughter with dead son and calls her a "Senator"
When he visited the grave of his son Beau Biden († 46), who died in 2015, in Philadelphia, the 77-year-old presidential candidate was accompanied by his two granddaughters: Natalie (16) and Finnegan Biden (20).
Biden put his arm around Finnegan in front of a crowd of reporters and proclaimed:
"This is my son Beau, whom many of you supported in the election to the Senate in Delaware."
Joe Biden introducing his granddaughter:
“This is my son Beau Biden who a lot of you helped elect to the senate in Delaware.
This is my granddaughter, Natalie.
Oh no wait, I got the wrong one. ”Pic.twitter.com/zYjGdA1iwt

Biden caused a lot of head shaking.
Not only did he mistake his granddaughter for his dead son, he also mixed up his former job.
Beau Biden was not a senator but a Delaware prosecutor.
He tried to correct himself:
“This is my granddaughter Natalie.
Oh no, wait, that's the wrong one. "
Only then did he correct which granddaughter he was hugging.
Biden calls Trump "George" - or does he mistake him for ex-President Bush?
Statements like these are of course grist to the mill of his opponent Trump, who
connects
Biden with
Alzheimer's
and
senility
.
Biden had already caused confusion during the campaign.
At the online concert "I Will Vote" Biden explained his goals to presenter George Lopez and CNN analyst Ana Navarro.
“In my opinion, the character of the country is literally on the ballot,” said Biden.
But then he stalled
: "Another four years, George, um, George ... we will be in a position where we are in another world if Trump is elected."
It is quite possible that Biden
confused
Donald Trump with
George W. Bush
, who was Republican President before Barack Obama.
Back then, as with the performance in Pennsylvania, there was both mockery from the net and pity for Biden.

"Wow ... I'm sorry for him.
He should surround himself with loved ones and
spend
the
rest of his life without the stress of politics,
”commented a User Biden's Philadelphia appearance.
“
All grandparents confuse the names of their grandchildren.
My father used to be called Prince.
That was the dog, ”countered another.
“It's a shame we never see Grandpa Trump with his grandchildren.
You are probably
terribly afraid
of him, ”suspects another user.
Either way - Trump will probably have been thievingly happy when he found out about Biden's appearance.
