President Joe Biden, while delivering a speech during a ‘Hunger, Nutrition, and Health’ event on Wednesday, suddenly asked for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) to identify herself, forgetting that the Republican Congresswoman died in a car crash last month.

Biden made the embarrassing remark while thanking bipartisan members of Congress at the White House Conference.

“I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Representative [Jim] McGovern, Senator [Mike] Braun, Senator [Cory] Booker, Representative Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie? — I think she was going to be here,” the president said.

To make matters even more embarrassing for the President and the White House, reporters asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a routine press conference after the incident to explain why Biden was looking around the room for the dead representative.

Reporter: “What happened when Biden said where is Jackie Walorski?”

Jean-Pierre: “The president was acknowledging her incredible work.”

Reporter: “He said ‘Jackie, Jackie, where is Jackie?'”

Jean-Pierre: “She was clearly on top of his mind.”

Biden, 79, who is the oldest-ever president to serve, has many questioning whether he is of sound mind. Regardless of ongoing and continued incidences proving that he may be in cognitive decline, Biden and his handlers have brushed off the concerns by saying the commander-in-chief is simply prone to gaffes.

The White House released a statement from the president mourning Walorski on Aug. 3 after she was tragically killed in an Indiana wreck alongside her press secretary, Emma Thomson, and St. Joseph County Republican Party chairman Zachery Potts.

The tragedy occurred when Walorski’s vehicle, driven by Potts, crossed the median of Indiana State Road 19 and hit another car driven by 56-year-old Edith Schmucker, who also died.

“Jill and I are shocked and saddened by the death of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski of Indiana along with two members of her staff in a car accident today in Indiana,” Biden said at the time.

Not even two months later, however, the President seems to have forgotten that the former Indiana congresswoman is no longer with us as he attempted to personally thank her during Wednesday’s event in Washington.
