As the final stop on the Biden administration’s so-called “Investing in America” tour, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke on July 14 at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland. While there, Harris announced a $20 billion investment in clean energy initiatives.

During her speech, Harris said, “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.”
The official White House transcript shows Harris misspoke. She had intended to say “reduce pollution,” not “reduce population.” The transcript provides this correction in brackets alongside the original wording, which is crossed out.
But some social media posts have spread the video of her mistake without mentioning the correction.
