Summary
During a recent Quad summit event, President Joe Biden experienced a moment of confusion while introducing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leading to an awkward exchange with his staff. After concluding his remarks, Biden asked, “Who’s next?” before staff pointed him towards Modi, causing a brief silence in the audience.
This incident occurred at a summit aimed at strengthening cooperation among the Quad nations—India, the United States, Japan, and Australia—focused on global health initiatives and security concerns, particularly regarding China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Biden’s moment of uncertainty has drawn attention, especially given the context of his ongoing challenges with public speaking and memory lapses, which have been noted throughout his presidency. The event, hosted at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, included discussions on significant topics such as cancer research and international collaboration, making the gaffe particularly noteworthy during a high-profile gathering of world leaders.
