President Biden made multiple false statements during a youth forum at the White House, botching responses about his student debt relief plan and appearing to forget key details at points.
The town hall, which was sponsored by NowThis, featured a variety of youth activists who asked the president candid questions about gun legislation, climate change, abortion access and trans issues. The event was taped on Tuesday and posted online Sunday night.

During another answer, the president appeared to forget the name of Roe v. Wade – the landmark 1973 abortion decision that was struck down by the Supreme Court in June.
"Guess what, we need the same votes we need to overrule Dobbs, to, uh, reinstate, uh, the decision that was struck down by the Court," he stumbled during a conversation about abortion.
Biden also made a bizarre comment when asked about gun control.
