DES MOINES — Joe Biden said Saturday that he misspoke when he botched a line about poor children and white children while campaigning in Iowa this week, adding that he doubted anyone misunderstood him.

“Look, I misspoke,” Biden told reporters at a gun violence forum here. “I meant to say ‘wealthy.’ I’ve said it 15 [times]. On the spot, I explained it. At that very second, I explained it. And so, the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I said I meant.”

Biden’s remarks came after the former vice president said during an event in Iowa on Thursday, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids," then quickly added, “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”
