US President Joe Biden mixes up the current President of France Emmanuel Macron with former French leader Francois Mitterrand who died in 1996. Speaking at a campaign rally in Las Vegas on Sunday, Biden recalled a discussion with other heads of state at the G7 summit held in Cornwall in June 2021, a few months after his inauguration: "I said, 'America is back'". 81 years old Biden then remembers how it elicited a reply from "Mitterrand from Germany" before correcting himself : " I mean, from France". Francois Mitterrand was President of France from 1981 to 1995, serving a record two seven-years terms. SOUNDBITE

Paris, Jun 20 (EFE/EPA).- France's main center-right party garnered the largest number of votes nationwide in Sunday's first round of regional elections, while the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen failed to meet expectations.With official results not expected until Tuesday, media outlets using a combination of partial tabulations and responses to exit polls estimated that Les Republicains (LR) took roughly 29 percent of the vote amid record-low turnout of less than 33 percent of the roughly 48 million eligible voters.
