Laughter erupted in the room when

Vice President Biden toasted Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), who mistakenly thought he was toasting the president. “I raise my glass to a man who never, never, never operates out of fear, only operates out of confidence and a guy – I’m toasting you, Chuck,” VP Biden quipped.

Sen. Schumer heads the congressional committee overseeing the inauguration.
