Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden again confused two U.S. states while campaigning in New Hampshire on Saturday.
The former vice presidential was holding a press gaggle when he was asked about his impression of Keene, New Hampshire, where he is spending most of his weekend appealing to voters.
“What’s not to like about Vermont in terms of the beauty of it?” Biden responded, appearing to mix up the two New England states. “And what a neat town. I mean this is sort of a scenic, beautiful town … everybody has been really friendly. I like Keene a lot.”

Biden’s mix-up follows a series of gaffes in recent weeks, which have included his confusing Burlington, Vermont, and Burlington, Iowa, his insistence that he was still vice president during the 2018 Parkland, Florida, shooting, and his incorrect claim that 40 students were shot at Kent State University in 1970, among others.
In the same gaggle on Saturday, Biden was asked about concerns from voters over his age.
“I say if they’re concerned, don’t vote for me,” the 76-year-old told reporters.
