CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny says President Joe Biden appeared "confused" during parts of a televised interview.
Zeleny made his comments on Wednesday after Biden, 79, appeared to mix up COVID-19 home testing kits with antiviral pills during an interview with ABC News.
Biden told ABC News anchor David Muir: "I’ve ordered half a billion of the pills — 500 million pills."

He paused for a second and then corrected himself, saying: "Excuse me … 500 million test kits."
Moments later he made the same mistake again.
"Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they've ordered with a half a billion pills," Zeleny told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer during a panel discussion.
"Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me."
A video excerpt of Zeleny’s comments were tweeted by the Republican National Committee.
Last month, former President Donald Trump suggested that Biden be required to take a cognitive test to ensure he’s mentally capable of dealing with other world leaders "at the top of their game."
"We need somebody that's at the top of the game," Trump said on Fox News' "Hannity." "Maybe it should be mandated that you take like a cognitive test or something."

Quote:President Joe Biden on Friday was pranked by a parent during the annual White House NORAD Santa-tracking call with military families who said, "Let’s go, Brandon," a phrase used to insult Biden, the New York Post reports.
The parent, a father from Oregon identified by the name Jared, said Merry Christmas to Biden and first lady Jill Biden before saying, "and let’s go, Brandon."
The White House pool report states that Biden "did not react to the apparent slight, let it slide right by." Video of the incident shows the president repeating the phrase without apparently being aware of its meaning, and reporters in the room said that Biden appeared unaffected by it.

The use of the phrase "Let’s go, Brandon," came after a NASCAR correspondent claimed that a crowd was chanting "let’s go Brandon" when reportedly they were chanting "f**k Joe Biden." It has since gone on to be adopted by many conservatives as an anti-Biden slogan, with some Republicans in Congress using it in speeches, and former President Donald Trump selling merchandise with the phrase.
After the phone call, Biden continued to speak with other children and went on to thank their families for their service, according to Bloomberg.
"We want to thank military families," the president said. "God bless our troops."
