2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appears to have forgotten what job he was nominated for this fall.
"We have to come together, that's why I'm running," the 77-year-old began during a Toledo drive-in rally Monday. "I'm running as a proud Democrat for the Senate."
Biden's mid-rally slip-up follows another Monday mix-up where the former Delaware senator
forgot the name of his 2012 Republican opponents.
"You may remember," Biden said when telling reporters he was opposed to Senate Democrats taking aim at Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett's faith, "I got in trouble when we were running against that senator who was a Mormon, the governor."
Mitt Romney, who led the 2012 Republican presidential ticket alongside then-Congressman Paul Ryan now serves as the freshman senator from Utah.
The former vice presidential candidate's Monday gaffes are likely to resurrect concerns about the candidate's age and aptitude to lead the White House for the next four to eight years. If elected, Biden would be the oldest president to be sworn in.Read a run-down of Biden's worst slip-ups

While trying to speak about the economy during a drive-in event, Biden found himself talking over Trump supporters several times. Every time he mentioned the president by name, the MAGA supporters would honk their car horns and chant things like "four more years," "USA" and "Trump."
"Thanks for that introduction," Biden said after trying to continue his speech.

Nonetheless, Biden will have the opportunity soon, we hope, to have his brain (or consciousness, is that it?) downloaded into the computer and find eternal life there.
I always think of the poor children in Africa (and elsewhere) of former days and ancient times who didn't get to know the computer and therefore have missed out on the chance for eternal life in the Holy Kingdom.
Let us prey.
