Joe Biden already thinks he's running for the Senate on a Harris-Biden ticket. Now he thinks he's running against George Bush. (And that's giving him the benefit of the doubt.)

"This is the most consequent—not because I'm running, but because who I'm running against—this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time. ... Four more years of George, uh, George, uh, he, uh..."

Note the change of expression on Jill's face as he tries to spit this out, with her even parting her lips trying to will him to self-correct, before he finally steps back into the present and completes his thought ...

"... gonna find ourselves in a position where if, uh, Trump gets elected, uh, we're gonna be, uh, we're gonna be in a different world."

Now, one genuinely has to wonder, did he really self-correct, or were his handlers whispering into an earpiece, "Trump! Not George! Say Trump!"

Seriously, though, someone please let this man permanently retreat into his basement to live out his retirement (or, sadly, perhaps, his sentence) in relative peace.

Update: Trump weighs in:
