Elect me: Biden says he’s ‘in the 20th cen­tu­ry’ before quick cor­rec­tion

Pres­i­dent Joe Biden slipped up dur­ing his joint press con­fer­ence with the prime min­is­ter of Japan, say­ing he’s “in the 20th cen­tu­ry” before quick­ly cor­rect­ing him­self to say 21st.
Biden was answer­ing a ques­tion on the Ari­zona state supreme court rul­ing that brought back an 1864 abor­tion law.
“What do you say to the peo­ple of Ari­zona right now who are wit­ness­ing a law go in place that dates back to the Civ­il War?” a reporter asked.
Biden was ready with an answer, at least a first.
“Elect me,” he said imme­di­ate­ly. “I’m in the 20, 20th cen­tu­ry — 21st cen­tu­ry. Not back then. They [Ari­zona] weren’t even a state.”

The pres­i­dent tried to con­tin­ue his answer but was shout­ed down by oth­er reporters attempt­ing to ask ques­tions.
