What did the vice president mean?
However, it was a slip. As usual, the White House published the transcript of Harris’ speech on its website and corrected the vice president’s mistake there, who, as she clarified, confused the word pollution (pollution) with population (population).

Slips are common in the White House. Just a few days ago, during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in the Finnish capital, President Joe Biden confused Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in a speech.
