Other historic mistakes by Biden in public
Biden already had other public errors similar in the past. One of the most memorable occurred in September 2022when he called a deceased congresswoman at a conference that she helped organize.

Biden’s predecessor and likely opponent in the November presidential election, donald trump, also made a mistake last month, when he confused his party rival, Nikki Haleywith the former president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
Trump, 77, even falsely said that haley was in charge of the security during the assault on Capitol of the United States on January 6, 2021, which led her to question his “mental fitness” during a campaign speech.
