In the video, Biden can be heard as saying, "I'm deeply proud of the work she [Jill] is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was Vice President and now carries on."

The transcript of the speech, which was uploaded on the official website of the White House, struck the word "she" and added the word "I" in a bracket. The corrected statement read: "...she started with Michelle Obama whenshe[I] was Vice President and now carries on."

This is not the first time the White House has corrected Biden's mistakes and slip-ups. Recently, Biden's comments targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to be a call for his exit.
