WATCH:
In a statement, a White House official said that Biden was "clearly" describing driving.
"The President was clearly describing driving over the bridge while commuting between Delaware and D.C." the White House official said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

In recent months, Biden has dropped embarrassing gaffes.
On March 8, he appeared to mix up the office he was running for during a campaign stop at Strath Haven Middle School in Delaware County.
"Pennsylvania, I have a message for you: Send me to Congress!" Biden shouted at one point, appearing to mix up the office for which he's running.
In February, Biden claimed he spoke to late German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in 2021 while recalling past conversations.
Biden said that Kohl asked him what he would say if he learned 1,000 people stormed the British Parliament in an attempt to prevent the next prime minister from assuming office.
Kohl, however, did not attend the annual meeting, as he had been dead for four years when it took place. Instead, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel was at the gathering.

Also in February, the 81-year-old president also told a Las Vegas crowd that he met with François Mitterrand, a French president who has been dead for 28 years.

In the fall of 2022, Biden told a group of supporters he spoke to the man who "invented" insulin.
Insulin was co-discovered by Frederick Banting and John Macleod. Banting died in 1941, while Macleod passed away in 1935. Biden was born in 1942.
