Biden snaps at staff on forgetting Modi's name: ‘Who am I introducing next?’

 A confused-looking President Biden fumbled and snapped at staffers after forgetting which world leader he was supposed to introduce at a press conference for a Quad summit Saturday.

Biden, 81, was supposed to call India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the stage, but appeared to be unsure which of the three visiting heads of government he was meant to name.

“Thank you all for being here and now, uhh, who am I introducing next? Who’s next?” Biden shouted after wrapping up his remarks.

A speaker then announced that Modi — the head of the world’s largest democracy — was up next and the prime minister came up to and shook hands with Biden soon thereafter.

The outgoing president has been hosting allies of the four-nation Quad alliance at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, for a short summit as foreign leaders travel to the US for the United Nation’s General Assembly meeting.

The Quad — established to help counter the influence of China — includes the US, Japan, India and Australia.
