President Biden's day was a full one, despite all the jetlag and whatnot. At remarks before his press conference, Biden proudly introduced Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin," and just to set up the following clip, here's how the other G7 attendees reacted to that gaffe:

As it turned out, that wasn't destined to be the most awkward moment of the evening.

We told you earlier that Biden, during the presser, had yet another slip when he talked about how proud he is of Vice President Trump. Here's that clip:

Remember that look Secretary of State Antony Blinken had on Air Force One a couple of years ago when Biden was talking to reporters? There was a repeat performance of that after Biden referred to his number two, "Vice President Trump":

Hey, the good news for the Trump campaign is that, overall, Biden probably did just well enough during the press conference to remain in the race... for now.
