President Joe Biden got off to a rough start in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night by opening with a fumbled joke and a gaffe.
Biden called Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer the 'minority leader' - when he is in the majority - after stumbling over first lady Jill going to the Super Bowl next week.
'I may need a court order,' Biden quipped to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. 'She gets to go to the game … next week,' Biden continued, referring to Jill.
'I have to stay home,' Biden said to some laughs: 'Gotta work something out here.'
'And congratulations to Chuck Schumer,' Biden said. 'Another, uh you know, another term as Senate minority leader.'
