President Joe Biden misspoke during a speech in Florida on Tuesday, discussing the ongoing “war in Iraq," claiming it was where his late son Beau died. “Inflation is a worldwide problem right now because of a war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia’s doing, excuse me, the war in Ukraine. I’m thinking of Iraq because that’s where my son died,” Biden said as an excuse for the verbal slip. Although Beau Biden served in Iraq, he did not die there. He died in 2015 at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Maryland after fighting brain cancer. He was 46.
