Biden fumbles teleprompter again, reads 'last name' out loud during Wisconsin campaign stop

On Wednesday, President Biden had yet another mishap with the teleprompter while delivering remarks during a campaign stop in Wisconsin. The president read a cue word out loud, saying “last name.” 

The blunder occurred when he was delivering an alleged tale about his Catholic school theology professor in front of an audience at the president's ceremony highlighting Microsoft's new multibillion-dollar AI center, which is part of Biden's Investing in America initiative. 

“My theology professor at the Catholic school I went to was a guy named Riley last name, and he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers and he decided to become a priest,” said Biden. 

Video footage of Biden’s teleprompter fumble surfaced on social media, raising common questions about Biden's cognitive health and readiness to serve another term in the White House. 

Individuals questioned if he would be mentally fit to debate former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, considering he had a similar mishap a few weeks ago while speaking at a trade union conference in Washington, DC. 

“Imagine mush for brains debating Trump…,” wrote one user. 

"Another prompter disaster from Joe Biden: 'LAST NAME,'" wrote Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. 

“Presidential telepromptering methods & perhaps the technology itself are gonna need some key innovations to help puppet political figures hide their dementia better in the future,” said another user. 

This marks the president’s fourth visit to the battleground Midwest state. According to The Hill, recent polling shows Biden trailing his top political rival, Donald Trump, by a little more than three points.
