    Biden has a documented struggle with stuttering, so it would be super simple for the wrong name to come out.

    Biden had a childhood stutter that went away long before politics tho

    In his 88 campaign his eloquence was why he was doing so well.

    Until he lost it on reporters over soeech plagiarism claims and started screaming how he was smarter than them and was in the top of his law class. Further investigation showed Biden had a history of plagarism back to law school, and was closer to the bottom than the top of his class.

    People didn’t start talking about Biden’s stutter, until he started mixing up words and other things that are completely different from a stutter.

    For example:

    https://www.nais.org/magazine/independent-school/spring-2010/joe-biden-reveals-childhood-stuttering-at-lab-scho/

    A 2010 piece talking about how surprising it is to find out Biden had a childhood stutter.

    Speech impediments don’t just disappear for 40 years and then come back with completely different symptoms.

    Biden been active in politics for decades, there’s 100s of hours of him speaking on video out there. The majority of his life he hasn’t been like this.
