During a recent public appearance, President Biden momentarily struggled to say the name of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, causing concern among allies present at the event. The incident occurred on June 18 at a gathering commemorating the anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
As Biden introduced Mayorkas, who has been a key figure in addressing the border crisis since 2021, he stumbled over his words, stating, 'Thanks to all the members of the Congress and Homeland Security Secretary. I…I’m not sure I’m going to introduce you all the way.' After a brief pause, he corrected himself, addressing Mayorkas by his title.
