Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic front-runner, told New Hampshire voters that he is not losing his mind.

"I want to be clear, I’m not going nuts," Biden, 76, told an audience during a campaign rally in Croydon, New Hampshire, on Friday.

The comment came after the former vice president hesitated when trying to recall exactly he had given another speech hours before at Dartmouth College. “I’m not sure whether it was the medical school or where the hell I spoke. But it was on the campus," Biden said.





Biden, who was first elected political office in 1970 and spent 36 years as a U.S. senator for Delaware before another eight as vice president, has made repeated flubs since he announced his third White House run in April.

In recent weeks Biden has confused Burlington, Vermont, and Burlington, Iowa, insisted he was still vice president during the 2018 Parkland, Florida, shooting, and incorrectly claimed that 40 students were shot at Kent State University in 1970, among others. He described the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, shootings as having happened in Houston and Michigan and mixed up, for the second time, Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher.

During the same trip to the Granite State last weekend, Biden responded to a question about whether he liked the town of Keene by asking:"What's not to like about Vermont?"

Later that day, he batted away worries about his age. "I say if they're concerned, don't vote for me," he said, he said.
