Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has tried to speak Spanish in front of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Seventy-eight-year-old Biden met with 80-year-old Pelosi on Friday. Biden told Pelosi: "In my Oval Office, mi casa, you casa," which translates to "my house is your house" in English. 

However, the phrase should have been "mi casa es su casa." Biden's flub was recorded in a video that circulated on social media.

Some of the social media users who had seen the video had criticized and even made fun of the Democratic nominee for trying to speak in Spanish.

One Twitter user corrected Biden and said it is "su casa" and not "you casa."

Another user tweeted that Biden should "never attempt to speak Spanish again."

"If you're going to use a Spanish term, how about you learn how to say it correctly! Don't disrespect my people like that," another Twitter user said.

Biden has been trying to sway the Latino population to his favor even before the election day. 

Latinos to Biden

The Democrat nominee has managed to garner votes from Black voters, first-time voters, and young voters. However, the Latinos have stopped the Democrats from effectively targeting the umbrella's micro-communities, as reported by Manchester's Media Group.

Biden has been on top of the news when he was welcomed at a Hispanic Heritage Month event playing "Despacito" out of his phone. But he has made little effort to target the Latino groups during his campaign run. This allowed President Donald Trump to make his appeal to them.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in her tweet that she had sounded the alarm of Democratic weakness with Latinos for a long time.

Hispanic voters were comprised of more than 30 million eligible voters. The Pew Research Center said about eight million Latino voters in California alone are enough to swing a vote. 

Latinos make up to 43 percent of eligible voters in states like Texas, Florida, New York, and Arizona.

Latinos have become the largest minority group in the United States, making it the second-biggest Spanish-speaking country after Mexico. It even beats Colombia and Spain.

A total of 29 percent of Latinos said they would vote for Trump.

Biden, like his Democrat predecessors, Bernie Saunders and Barack Obama, has managed to solidify his stand with the African-American community. Biden has a lot of work to do to appeal to the growing Latino voting base.

Meanwhile, Latinos in Pennsylvania came out strong for Biden and proved to be significant in earning him more than the 270 electoral votes.

Exit polling showed that Latinos were about four percent of the voters who showed up at the polls. Nearly six out of 10 Latinos voted for Biden, according to an NBC News report.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won about three-quarters of the Latino votes in Pennsylvania, while Trump got 22 percent.

"We already knew that since the last presidential election, there were 300,000 new Latino voters in Pennsylvania, and we know that based on the results we have seen that without those folks coming and participating, maybe the result wouldn't have been the same," Thaís Carrero said in the report.

Carrero is the Pennsylvania director of CASA in Action, a progressive group that does political organizing around Latino and immigrant rights advocacy.
