<p>US President Joe Biden, who has come to be known for his gaffes, has made another embarrassing misstep.&nbsp;The incident happened while Biden was speaking at an event celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day or MLK Day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the US, the event honouring the late civil rights leader is celebrated on the third Monday of January each year. This year the event fell on January 16th, coinciding with his daughter-in-law Arndrea Waters King’s birthday.</p>

<p>During his opening remarks at the event, he encouraged everyone to sing the Happy Birthday song for Arndrea, but forgot her name. As per Daily Mail, while singing the verse, the 80-year-old President mumbled Valerie instead of Arndrea.</p>

<p>Reportedly, the gaffe was noticed by those present and it resulted in a burst of laughter as Biden mumbled the incorrect, incoherent name over the microphone. Biden’s reaction to the laughter was a futile “well...”.</p>
