“It’s great to be at Florida Memorial University, one of the nation’s great [Historically Black Colleges and Universities],” Biden said during a rally on Tuesday night. “I’m a big fan of HBCUs, I got my start at one of those other HBCUs, Delaware State University.”
The university hosted him for an event on the importance of voting which was really about campaigning for Democratic Senate candidate Val Demings and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. Christina Pushaw, the rapid response director of Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign, flagged the comments by Biden on her Twitter.
President Biden never attended Delaware State University, but he did attend the University of Delaware. He also never was accepted to the United States Naval Academy, as he claimed in May.
