President Joe Biden appeared to mix up his years, claiming that by 2020 his administration âwill have conserved 30% of all the lands and waterâ in the United States as part of an ongoing effort to tackle climate control.
The unusual claim from Biden was made during his visit to Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center and Preserve in Palo Alto, California, alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), according to Fox News.
During the visit, Biden highlighted his administrationâs efforts to combat the climate crisis.
âAnd maybe most important,â Biden said on Monday. âIâve committed that by 2020, we will have conserved 30% of all the lands and waters in the United States has jurisdiction over and simultaneously reduced emissions to blunt climate impact.â
The Biden Administration revealed plans to âconserve at least 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030,â according to the White House website.
Bidenâs remark on Monday was met with confusion and skepticism as to whether the president was fit to continue leading.
One Twitter user commented on the video of Bidenâs comments by stating these types of moments with the president are âgetting to be not funny anymore.â
âBro doesnât even know what year it is,â said another Twitter user.
Another user pointed out Biden had made a âsimilar statement two years ago.â
Bidenâs mix-up on the year is his latest gaffe. On Friday, during a speech on gun control at the National Safety Communities Summit in Hartford, Connecticut, Biden thanked the crowd and said, âGod save the queen, man.â
A NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll from May 23 shows that 62% of Americans â 84% of Republicans, 69% of Independents, and 36% of Democrats â think that Bidenâs âmental fitness to be president is a real concern.â
