“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?’ the American president began to ask
US President Joe Biden made a mistake today when, during an event at the White House, he looked for former Republican congressman Jackie Walorski, who was killed in a traffic accident in early August, among the attendees.
“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?’ asked the 79-year-old president, in a speech about fighting obesity and food insecurity. Looking towards the audience, he commented “He was supposed to be here”…
“I want to thank everyone who’s here,” Joe Biden began, naming two lawmakers who had been particularly involved in these issues, before looking for the late woman in the audience.
US Congresswoman Jackie Walorski died at the age of 58 in a car accident in Indiana on August 3.
At the time, the White House released a statement in which President Biden said he was “shocked and saddened” by the lawmaker’s untimely death.
A Republican Party official and member of the House of Representatives since 2013, Jackie Walorski has been particularly committed to the fight against malnutrition. In fact, he was among the lawmakers who had long prepared the event that President Biden spoke at today.
