Biden said, looking out into the crowd and expressing uncertainty over whether she planned to be in attendance.
“I didn’t think she was — she wasn’t going to be here — to help make this a reality.”

The White House did little to shed light on whether the mishap was a simple mistake,
a problem with Biden’s prepared remarks or a momentary mental lapse,
but rather simply explained that Walorski had been in his thoughts.
