President Joe Biden got a bit tongue-tied while addressing the crowd at the Wednesday, June 14, League of Conservation Voters annual Capital Dinner in Washington, D.C.
The former senator was discussing the Build Back Better plan — which would invest in training to help Americans secure employment — when his most recent flub went down, as he accidentally called the initiative the wrong name.
