While speaking and ranting about NATO, Joe Biden ended up forgetting that Norway was a founding member of NATO in 1949.
“You’ve increased NATO and the border of NATO from bringing in Sweden and Norway…”

ABC News confirmed on Wednesday that Rep. Dean Phillips has decided to suspend his presidential campaign, following a disappointing performance in the Super Tuesday primary elections.
After a lackluster showing in the primaries, Phillips acknowledged in a somber social media post that his attempt to offer a Democratic alternative to President Joe Biden fell short. He conceded that he was perceived as less appealing than both the incumbent president and fellow candidate, self-help author Marianne Williamson. Interestingly, he even trailed behind an unspecified vote for “uncommitted.” Notably, Biden secured a decisive victory over Phillips in the latter’s home state of Minnesota on Tuesday, with “uncommitted” also outperforming him.
Given that Phillips was challenging a sitting president, his presidential bid was always considered a longshot. Despite expressing concerns about Biden’s age, Phillips faced significant challenges, especially in key primaries such as Michigan, where he finished fourth behind Biden, “uncommitted,” and Williamson.
The campaign also experienced embarrassing setbacks, including a connection to a street magician associated with a Phillips staffer who released an AI-generated robocall.
