You appear to be looking for ways to attack President Biden. Think twice before posting is my recommendation.

It sounded fine to me and I was happy that he was able to say 300 *million* on the last one.

He was fine anyway, it didn’t sound weird

check out any prior speech, he repeats phrases.

I've wondered if it is artifact of his stuttering problem from his youth.
