Biden ‘Might Have Just Lost’ Election With Latest Gaffe, Megyn Kelly Says
President Joe Biden might have lost his chance at reelection over his latest flop, according to conservative media personality Megyn Kelly.
In a video that has been making rounds on social media, Biden was reading from the teleprompter while he was delivering a speech at the North America’s Building Trade Union National Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
The president, however, lost it when he seemingly read instructions alongside the remarks.
“Four more years. Pause,” he said before his supporters jumped to chant, “Four more years! Four more years!”

Amid the controversy that erupted from the video, Kelly took to X to say, “He might have just lost. Seriously. Watch this.”

Kelly went on to make another post in reaction to a post showing the official White House transcript which had Biden’s comments read as, “Four-more years (inaudible).”

In a sarcastic tone, she wrote, “This really is the perfect embodiment of the Biden presidency – don’t believe your lyin’ eyes and ears… The economy is fixed! The border is secure! Crime is over! Men are women! The WH staff can’t keep up with Joe Biden!”

Aside from Kelly, many social media users pointed out Biden’s gaffe, including Fox News contributor Guy Benson who mocked the president with a reference to the movie “Anchorman,” whose main character had a habit of reading things exactly how they’re written on the teleprompter.
“I’m Ron Burgundy?” Benson wrote.

Towing Benson’s path, OutKick founder Clay Travis wrote, “Joe Biden read the instruction ‘pause’ on the teleprompter. The guy is Ron Burgandy. He just keeps getting worse.”

Rep. Adam Morgan (R-SC) wrote, “Imagine what state he will be in 4 months from now, let alone 4 years. How is this not elder abuse?”

Former acting director of national intelligence during the Trump administration, Richard Grenell, also reacted to the video, writing, “Joe Biden said the word ‘pause’ because it was written in his teleprompter. It was there to tell him to pause before speaking again. But he read the word out loud.”
Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines also weighed in, saying, “Utterly embarrassing and shameful for the American Republic… All the while our enemies are laughing.”

“This is the President of the United States. I am as horrified as I am embarrassed,” Maya Camilla wrote, adding, “No matter how much they try to attack @realDonaldTrump Democrats can’t hide the deteriorated mental state of @JoeBiden. I doubt this man can still tie his own shoes, never mind run a country.”
