President Biden’s stumble at the U.S. Air Force Academy stood out as a significant political gaffe in 2023.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ verbal missteps, particularly her recent comments on MSNBC, have also garnered attention.

• Biden takes a tumble

The single-most memorable political gaffe of the year occurred June 2 when President Biden collapsed to the floor as he turned to leave the stage at the Air Force Academy.

“Americans have seen Biden trip and fall previously, most often on the steps leading up to Air Force One, but his tumble at the Air Force Academy was by far the most drastic of his presidency so far. Secret Service and military members nearby rushed to lift the president off the ground,” the report found.

• VP Kamala Harris’ favorite holiday meal: word salad

Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent verbal stumble came just in time for Christmas.

“You know, every election cycle we talk about this is the most election of our lifetime,” Harris said while on MSNBC.

“Lawrence, this one is, this one is,” she continued. “We are literally talking about people who are attempting to divide our country in the most crude, frankly, and profound way,” she said.

“We are talking about those who are intent and purposeful to, to attack fundamental freedoms,” said the Vice President. “The freedom to be free from fear of violence and hate … the freedom to just … be. The freedom to just be,” she added.

In July, Harris offered an incomprehensible and repetitive definition of the word “culture.”

“Culture is — it is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And in present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment,” Harris said.

• ‘Twitter Spaces’ crashes DeSantis campaign launch

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his 2024 presidential campaign on “Twitter Spaces” during a conversation with X CEO Elon Musk and tech entrepreneur David Sacks.

The event was plagued by tech issues.

Nearly 700,000 users logged in to hear the announcement, but it abruptly shut down without explanation.

“The servers are straining somewhat,” Musk said.

“This link works,” Biden tweeted, with a link to donate to his campaign.

Former president Trump posted an image that read: “failing to launch…”

• Vivek Ramaswamy goes to the bathroom

Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and 2024 presidential candidate, recently participated in an X “Spaces” conversation with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

During the conversation, Ramaswamy was called out for potentially taking his phone into the restroom, as the sound of splashing water could be heard in the background while he discussed being “super pro-human.”

Alex Jones pointed out the situation, stating, “Somebody’s got their thing on while they’re peeing!”

Host of the conversation Mario Nawfal said, “Vivek, Vivek, that’s your phone, Vivek. I’m not able to mute you.”

“Sorry about that,” Ramaswamy responded.

“Well, I hope you feel better now,” Musk joked.

“I feel great, thank you,” Ramaswamy concluded.
