In September 2022 at a speech on food insecurity, Biden tried to give a shout-out to Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), who had worked on the issue — but who had been killed in a car accident weeks earlier.

Biden had issued a statement of condolences. The White House flew flags at half-staff in honor of her death.

"Representative — Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? I think she wasn't going to be here," Biden said at the event.

Biden's prepared remarks included a note that Walorski had recently passed away and thanked her for her contributions, two people familiar with the speech told Axios.

Biden didn't remember she had died, and either ignored the Teleprompter or had trouble reading it.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre deflected tough questioning the next day by CNN's Phil Mattingly, CBS's Steven Portnoy and others.

Jean-Pierre refused to acknowledge Biden made a mistake, and didn't commit to releasing the original version of the remarks.

She said at the briefing: "I don't think it's all that unusual to have someone top of mind, especially as there's a big event."

The White House didn't respond to questions about this incident.

“Biden's prepared remarks included a note that Walorski had recently passed away”

As soon as he looks away from the teleprompter it’s over

He’s done this or things just like it hundreds of times. It’s insane how often he’s done this in the last 4 years considering how rarely he’s in public.
