Forgetting about the death of Jackie Walorski at the White House conference on Wednesday, US President Joe Biden kept looking for her in the crowd. He called her name while giving a speech on stage.

Jackie Walorski was among the four lawmakers, who sponsored legislation pushing for this conference. She and her two staffers died in early August in a terrible car accident.

The president tried calling her from the stage along with the other lawmakers.

He said during the address, "I want to thank all those who are here, including unprejudiced elected representatives like … Senator Booker, Senator Braun, Representative McGovern and Representative Jackie, Jackie are you here? Where's Jackie?" he further added. "I thought she would be here to help."


A Tribute to Jackie was scheduled to be paid at the event, but it wasn't presented in the presence of the White House pool or Biden.
