Biden Calls Vice President Kamala Harris Vice President Trump During Press Conference

"I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [If I didn't] think she's not qualified to be vice president, the president said.

President Joe Biden mistakenly called Vice President Kamala Harris Vice President Trump during a press conference on Thursday, marking his second word fumble that day. 

I wouldnt have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if [I didnt think] she was not qualified to be president, Biden said in response to the first question of the night, a reporters query about Harris ability to beat Trump if she were at the top of the ticket.

At least half a dozen Democratic lawmakers made contingency plans in case Biden tanked Thursday nights press conference, Politico reported earlier in the day .
