President Joe Biden has declared himself the first Black woman to serve alongside a Black president.
Biden also described himself as the “first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid.”
These startling claims were made during a Pennsylvania radio show with host Andrea Lawful-Sanders, as Biden tried to connect with listeners.
He said, “By the way, I’m proud to be the, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, served with a black president, proud of the first black woman in the Supreme Court.
“There’s just so much that we can do because together we, there’s nothing, look, this is the United States of America.”
This is coming a week after struggling to allay concerns he is too old for a second term in the White House in a fiery debate with Donald Trump marked by personal insults.
After Trump called him a failure on the economy and the world stage, Biden tried to hit back, but his delivery was faltering as he spoke rapidly in a raspy, trailing-off voice, stumbled on his words and stared open-mouthed.
