US President Joe Biden has suffered his latest public gaffe, as he lead a campaign rally in the city of Las Vegas.
Biden took his re-election pitch to Nevada voters on Sunday, as part of a two-day stop in the 2024 battleground state ahead of Tuesday's Democratic primary.
The current President is heading towards a re-election fight against his predecessor Donald Trump.
Biden won his South Carolina Democratic primary, as Trump is currently polling at 58 per cent ahead of the Republican ballot on February 24.

Following his win, Biden has urged voters to "keep pushing forward" and "finish what we started—together".
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Biden said: "There are extreme and dangerous voices at work in the country—led by Donald Trump—who are determined to divide our nation and take us backward. We cannot let that happen."
Speaking at the Vegas campaign rally, Biden pushed his latest travel innovation for the state after pledging $3billion (£2.39billion) of federal funding towards the Brightline West rail line.
The 218-mile high-speed rail system will connect Las Vegas and Southern California, with trains capable of speeds of 186 miles per hour.

However, when speaking about the project, Biden appeared to forget Southern California and instead repeated the name of Las Vegas.
Hyping up the crowd, Biden said: "$3billion for the nation's first high-speed rail line. We're taking it here to Las Vegas... Las Vegas to Las Vegas... in two hours by train instead of four hours by car!"
The crowd continued to cheer as the President appeared unaware of his mistake.
Simon Rees, Arup's Structural Engineering lead in Los Angeles, said the project will provide a "fast, low-carbon option to travel in comfort between Southern California and Las Vegas".

Biden continued his speech by criticising Donald Trump again, expressing his anger for the Republican candidate and vowing to "make him a loser again".
Biden thanked his dedicated voters, stating: "You’re the reason I’m President of the United States.
"You’re the reason Kamala Harris is a historic Vice President, and you’re the reason Donald Trump is a former president.
"We have a lot more to do. Not everyone is feeling the benefits of our investments and our progress yet, but inflation is now lower in America than in any other major economy in the world."
