Joe Biden had another gaffe.

Despite the bridge not having any railway lines, President Biden asserted his familiarity with it, stating that he had crossed it numerous times while commuting between Delaware and Washington by both car and train.

"I have been over many many times, commuting from the state of Delaware by train or by car," his statement read, raising questions due to the absence of railway tracks on the bridge, which has solely served as a roadway since its construction in the early 1970s.

Additionally, he mentioned his visits to Baltimore Harbor, further highlighting his connection to the area.

Biden has made a number of blunders in recent months, leaving many to question his mental capabilities.
