(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The White House is working overtime after another gaffe by President Joe Biden who inadvertently promoted his wife to Vice President, The Daily Wire reported.
“My name is Joe Biden. I am Jill’s husband,” Biden joked to open his remarks on Saturday. “It’s always a good day when I get to celebrate Delaware or spend time with service members and their families or introduce Jill. That’s a trifecta in my family.”
Biden continued, thanking those who brought the USS Delaware to reality before turning back to his wife.

“The daughter of a Navy signalman during World War Two, the mother of a member of the Delaware National Guard, the grandmother of children who experienced having their father deployed away from home for a year at a time. She always holds our military and their families in her heart. And that is not hyperbole; that’s real,” Biden continued. “And I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was vice president and now carries on.”
The president did not stop to correct himself; the official White House transcript did make an edit to his comments.
“And I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she [I] was Vice President and now carries on.”
This is not the first time Biden has made a mistake along these lines.
When Biden announced that Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff had contracted COVID, he announced that “the first lady’s husband contracted COVID,” only to be reminded that he was, in fact, the first lady’s husband.
