President Biden claims US has FIFTY-FOUR states as concerns over age continue to mount
>
President Joe Biden made another blunder when speaking in Philadelphia on Friday, claiming he had been to “54 states” at a rally to rally support for embattled Democrat John Fetterman.
Biden, 79, noted how his administration has improved health care in the country, falsely saying that “we went to 54 states” to prevent drug companies from driving up drug prices.
‘And by the way, if they do, that means — no joke, anyone; that’s why we beat it in 2018 when they tried. We went to 54 states,” Biden said. “The reason is that people didn’t realize that the only reason someone with a pre-existing condition can get health care is because of that Affordable Care Act.”
The president was joined by both Vice President Kamala Harris and Senate hopeful John Fetterman, who recently dented his chances by fumbling answers during a debate with opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“So maybe sometimes I don’t say everything perfectly, but I’ll always do the right thing if you send me to Washington, DC,” Fetterman said.
President Joe Biden made another embarrassing misstep on Friday when he claimed to have been to 54 states while complaining about Big Pharma’s increase in drug prices.
Biden was joined by his Vice President Kamala Harris as the two tried to rally support for Senate hopeful John Fetterman after a disastrous debate performance last week.

Biden has made a series of worrisome gaffes during his time as president, most recently out of print when journalists asked him if his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, wants him to run for president again.
“I didn’t make that formal decision, but it’s my intention. . . my intention to start running again. And we have time to make that decision,” the president said.
‘Dr. Is Biden for it?’ asks the MSNBC interviewer, but is silently received.
‘Mr. President?’ the reporter stings, to virtually no response from Biden.
‘Dr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, that I uh, that we, that we are doing something very important,” Biden finally says, managing not to answer the question directly.
He also embarrassingly mispronounced new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s name when speaking of him at a Diwali event, calling him “Rashee Sanook”.
Sunak, a 42-year-old multi-millionaire former hedge fund boss, becomes the country’s youngest leader in modern times and third in less than two months as his conservative party goes through a period of significant turmoil.

Fetterman’s debate performance shocked viewers and voters alike, and caused concern among party leaders.
Chris Cuomo said he was “struggling” and Barack Obama’s former senior adviser said Fetterman “didn’t help his case.”
“Hello, goodnight everyone,” Fetterman said as he began that night’s long-awaited duel.
Prior to the debate, Fetterman’s campaign had tempered expectations by saying there would be “uncomfortable pauses” and “delays and errors” as the Democrat read subtitles due to his auditory processing problem.
At one point, Fetterman was asked to clarify his stance on fracking, as moderators be on an interview from 2018 where the lieutenant governor spoke widely against the practice, but no ban.
“I support fracking — I don’t, I don’t — I support fracking, and I support fracking,” he replied.
Charlie Dent, a former Republican congressman for Pennsylvania, said he was “stunned” and “stunned” by Fetterman’s poor performance, while Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Donald Trump communications director, said she was “painful to see” .
