‘Where’s Jackie?’: Joe Biden asks if deceased lawmaker is at White House event

Written by Michael D. Shear US President Joe Biden looked in the audience on Wednesday for Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., during a White House conference on ending hunger, apparently forgetting that Walorski had died last month. “Jackie, are you here?
