"And congratulations, Chuck Schumer, another you know, another term as Senate minority leader," said Biden.

The current Senate Minority Leader is Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

"You know, I think, you know, this time you have a slightly bigger majority, Mr. Leader. You know, majority leader, but that much bigger," he clarified after.

Biden was booed by audience members after claiming the GOP wants to cut Medicare and Social Security. 

"Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security sunset," Biden said before clarifying, "I'm not saying it's a majority." 

The president was quickly called a "liar" by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who yelled towards the podium.
