Former Vice President Joe Biden introduced another round of nominees Tuesday he said would serve in his presidential cabinet before botching both a department and his appointee’s name.

“We still have much to do in the year ahead and sadly, much difficulty as well,” Biden predicted, as if he foreshadowing what was going to happen to himself in the moments after.

“We’ll be far, far from done,” he continued, “yet, it’s possible after 100 days we’ll be much further along in the fight against this pandemic.”

Biden said he was “grateful” to those on his virus team.

“I’m really proud of this group,” he said as he announced “Secretary of Health and Education Services,” a nonexistent agency.

“I nominate Xavier Bokeria,” Biden said, before he paused and attempted to correct himself, only to mispronounce it again, saying “Bashera.”

Becerra pronounces his name like “Ba-sara.”

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, who the media has declared the vice president-elect, sat silently behind Biden as he spoke.
