A Very Confused Biden Gets Fact Checked By Little Girl After Forgetting One Of His Own Grandkids

President Biden experienced an embarrassing moment during a Take Your Child to Work Day event at the White House in April 2023, when a young girl named Amelia asked about his grandchildren. Biden struggled to remember how many grandchildren he had and where they lived — saying “I left somebody out. Didn’t I anyway?” and correcting himself when the child pointed out he had said “five” initially. The gaffe highlighted concerns about the president’s memory.
