President Biden told the crowd at a historically black college Monday that they were “just as smart” and “just as bright” as students at other schools as he delivered his final speech before the midterm elections in deeply Democratic Maryland.
Touting his $5.8 billion commitment to HBCUs, Biden told the mostly black audience at Bowie State University that “HBCUs don’t have the endowments others have, but guess what? You’re just as smart, you’re just as bright, you’re just as good as any college in America.”
Biden’s remarks were reminiscent of a gaffe he made in 2019 when he told a crowd in Iowa that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
At one point during his speech, Biden appeared to forget the name of one of the Maryland Democrats he was rallying for.
“And, of course, you got that next governor. What’s his name? Wes … Wes …,” Biden said as several people in the crowd held up “Wes Moore” signs that the president spotted.
“Wes Moore!” Biden shouted upon seeing the signs go up. “The guy’s the real deal, man.”
