Biden was giving an address at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition & Health, during which at one point he commended organizers for “including bipartisan elected officials” in the event.
The president listed off several attendees including “Rep. McGovern, Sen. Braun, [and] Sen. Booker.” The president then added “Rep…Jackie, are you here?” while staring out into the audience.
“Where’s Jackie?” he added. “I think…she was going to be here.”
The “Jackie” appears to be a reference to Rep. Jackie Walorski, an Indiana representative who died last month in a car crash.
