President Joe Biden's six-minute Oval Office address contained several gaffes as the 81-year-old president's fitness for office continues to be questioned.
At the top, Biden called former President Donald Trump 'former Trump' as he condemned yesterday's assassination attempt on his political rival.
'Thankfully former Trump is not seriously injured,' Biden said.
Later he mispronounced the word ballotbox - twice - to give his statement the opposite meaning.
'In America we resolve our differences at the battlebox. Now that's how we do it. At the battlebox. Not with bullets,' the president said.
The shooting at Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania rally, which killed one rally attendee and left the gunman dead, has currently moved the political question away from whether Biden should stay on as the Democratic nominee.
Since last month's disastrous Atlanta debate, a number of members of the Democratic Party - as well as Democratic donor and A-list actor George Clooney - have pushed that Biden should bow out of the 2024 race, as they believe he will not be able to beat Trump.
