President Joe Biden made a trademark gaffe while hosting a virtual roundtable on his Inflation Reduction Act Wednesday, stating that he couldn’t drive a vehilce while he’s “vice president.”
“Yeah, I must’ve been – full disclosure, I spoke to the gentlemen about the possibility of my being able to buy one of those Corvettes that are electric vehicles,” Biden said.
“Not gonna be able to do it because I can’t drive a vehicle while I’m vice president, while I’m president,” he added.

In recent months, Biden staffers have taken to trying to downplay the President’s frequent gaffes by either claiming that he was “joking,” or directly misquoting him in transcripts.
During an event in July, Biden claimed he has cancer.
“That’s why I – and so damn many other people I grew up with – have cancer,” said Biden, “and why cancer, for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”
Biden misspoke during the last day day of his tour to Saudi Arabia in July, mistakenly referencing the “selfishness” of the US armed forces instead of selflessness.
“For the first time since 9/11, an American President is visiting this region without American troops being engaged in combat — in a combat mission in the region,” Biden said.
“We’ll always honor the bravery and selfishness — selflessness of the — and sacrifices of the Americans who served, including my son, Major Beau Biden, who was stationed in Iraq for a year,” he added.
