Topic: Jackie Walorski

During a White House conference on hunger, President Joe Biden appeared to search for Representative Jackie Walorski, asking "Where's Jackie?" despite the congresswoman having passed away in a car accident the previous month. The incident raised questions about the President's mental acuity and the accuracy of his teleprompter.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended President Biden's search for the late Jackie Walorski by stating she was "top of mind" due to an upcoming bill signing. Press corps members challenged this explanation, noting that the President's remarks clearly indicated he expected her to be physically present in the room.
