Biden's Controversial Statements: COVID Deaths and Cancer Claims

President Biden mistakenly stated that "over 100" Americans have died from COVID-19 during a speech about expanding mental health care, later corrected to "over 1 million" in an official transcript. The actual death toll in the US is closer to 1,135,000 according to CDC data. Biden's team amended the blunder on the transcript. The president announced a new plan to ensure equal administration of mental health and physical health benefits. This is the latest in a series of gaffes made by Biden, including referring to the Ukrainian president as "Vladimir" and confusing Iceland and Ireland.
