"Where's Deborah?" Biden inquired, scanning the crowd for the two-term congresswoman at an event centered on the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure act. "I just had my picture taken with her, that's probably why she left," he initially quipped. However, he quickly corrected himself, stating, "Oh, she couldn't be here actually. That's not true, I got mixed up … She's up in Washington right now."
In a further slip of the tongue, Biden referred to the United States as a "major company" instead of a country. This incident echoed a similar gaffe in 2022 when he asked for the late Representative Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) at an event, despite having previously ordered flags to be lowered in her honor.

The President ordered a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a "black and white" shake, which he described as "triple thick." He also generously covered the bill for other customers in line, including Governor Cooper's M&M shake, according to WRAL.
