President Joe Biden’s list of gaffes continues to grow, with the most recent one occurring in North Carolina when he mistook a female attendee for a congresswoman who was not actually there.
Biden spoke to an audience in the Tar Heel State on Thursday, touting Bidenomics, his administration’s economic agenda, when he confused a woman with whom he took a photo for Rep. Deborah Ross (D-NC). It is unclear who the woman he took a photo with is.
“I want to mention congresswoman Deborah Ross, where’s Deborah?” Biden asked.
“I just had my picture taken with her, that’s probably why she left,” Biden continued, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Eventually, Biden said, “Oh, she couldn’t be here, actually. That’s not true. I got it mixed up.”
The president’s mishaps have caused conservatives and even some Democrats to be concerned over his mental and physical ability to serve in the White House. Biden has been widely criticized over his age, as he is the oldest president in United States history at 81.
In September of 2022, Biden asked, “Where’s Jackie?” referring to the late Indiana Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car crash the previous August. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed that Walorski was “top of mind for the president” when Biden made the mistake.

Last November, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 77% of respondents, including 65% of Democrats, believed Biden was too old to be president. Just 39% said they thought the president was mentally sharp enough to remain in the executive role.
“Our perspective is that it’s not about age, it’s about the president’s experience,” Jean-Pierre previously said. “We have to judge him by what he’s done, not by his numbers.”
