President Biden called Vice President Kamala Harris the “president” during a speech in which he referenced vaccinations on Thursday.
“This is really important,” Biden said of the country’s immunization effort. “Because we believe in speed and efficiency must be matched with fairness and equity. Now, when President Harris took a virtual tour of a vaccination center in Arizona not long ago, one of the nurses on that tour — injecting people, giving vaccinations, said that each shot was like administering a dose of hope.”

This is at least the second time the 78-year-old president mistakenly referred to his vice president as the commander in chief. Biden called Harris the “president-elect” before he assumed the Oval Office in December.

“I hope the president will clearly and unambiguously urge all Americans to take the vaccine once it’s available,” Biden said at the time. “I took it to instill public confidence in the vaccine. President-elect Harris took hers today for the same reason.”
