In a recent interview on WURD radio station, U.S. President Biden made a verbal slip-up by saying he was 'proud to be the first black woman to serve as vice president with a black president.' This comes after his shaky performance at the first debate against Trump, drawing attention to his repeated gaffes and confusing statements. Biden's mix-up likely stemmed from previous discussions about being the first vice president to serve under a black president, appointing the first black female Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and becoming the first president to have a black woman as his vice president.
