During a speech, the president asked for Jackie Walorski, who died in August
The White House has clarified that President Joe Biden looked around the room asking for Congresswoman Jackie Walorski on Wednesday because “she was on his mind.” While Biden apparently thought Walorski would be at the White House event, she died in a car accident last month.
Speaking at a conference on food insecurity, Biden thanked a list of lawmakers who sponsored a bill establishing the conference. Walorski, a Republican from Indiana, was among them.
“Jackie, are you here?” Biden asked as he scanned the crowd. “Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here,” he trailed off.
Walorski died in early August, in a car crash that also killed two of her staffers. At the time of her death, Biden issued a statement saying that himself and First Lady Jill Biden were “shocked and saddened” by her passing, and “appreciated her partnership” as they planned for Wednesday’s conference.
Biden was embarrassed again: “Congressman Jackie, are you here? Where is Jackie?
