The White House was compelled to amend the error and upload a transcript on its official website, claiming that he should have said "I" rather than "she," while referring to him as former Vice President.
This is not the first time the White House has had to rectify Biden's errors and omissions. Biden's recent remarks on Russian President Vladimir Putin looked to be a push for his resignation. On March 26, Biden told a gathering in Warsaw, Poland, "For God's sake, this man [Putin] cannot continue in power." The Biden administration moved quickly to address the situation. They said Biden was not seeking "regime change."
