President Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of a Democratic candidate he was rallying for in Maryland.
During an event at Bowie State University Monday evening, Biden told the crowd, “Here in Maryland, you’ve got some great people to vote for… You got that next governor. What’s his name? Wes … Wes … Wes Moore!”
The president shouted his name as he saw the crowd holding signs up for Moore, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
“The guy’s the real deal, man,” Biden said.
He added, “He’s a combat veteran and a Rhodes Scholar. I’ve always worried about Rhodes Scholars, though. They’re so damn smart. I wonder about it, you know?”

This moment did not appear to be the only gaffe Biden made during the event.
He seemingly made a gaffe similar to one in 2018 when he said, “Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
Biden told the mostly Black audience, “You’re just as smart, you’re just as bright, you’re just as good as any college in America.”
