Supercut: Biden Forgets Candidate’s Name, Develops Odd Verbal Tic

Former Vice President Joe Biden, 75, is hitting the campaign trail in a bid to help Democrats win back control of Congress, and perhaps lay a foundation for his own 2020 presidential campaign.

One issue is that his advanced age is starting to show.

During a speech for Abby Finkenauer, Biden referred to the congressional candidate as “Amy.” Last week, Biden was speaking in Tampa but thought he was in Miami.

During his rally for Finkenauer, an odd verbal tic emerged; the longtime politician used the word “folks” with a Tourette’s-like ferocity. 

“Folks, my name is Joe Biden and I am here because my friend Abby Finkenauer asked me to be here,” Biden began, the first of many uses of what would become an omnipresent filler word. 

“Folks … folks” Biden often said as he transitioned from one train of thought to the next.
