We Resolve Our Differences at the Battle Box is a quote spoken by U.S. President Joe Biden while addressing the Donald Trump rally shooting and assassination attempt in which he misspoke and said what sounded like, "In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box," instead of "ballot box." Biden made the address on Sunday, July 14th, 2024, and it inspired reactions that night, including memes, largely on X / Twitter, about settling your differences in "the battle box."

On July 15th, 2024, X[7] user @SonofHas posted a screenshot from whitehouse.gov's[8] transcript of Biden's address in which, rather than spell Biden's mispronunciation as "battle" they spell it "battol," the poster writing, "The White House claims Biden said 'battol box' instead of 'battle box.' Which is funny, bc 'battol' isn’t a word," garnering over 1,000 likes in under a day (shown below).

LOL John Hasson @SonofHas The White House claims Biden said “battol box" instead of “battle box." Which is funny, bc "battol❞ isn't a word. The WH claims that POTUS spoke gibberish bc they won't admit he made a (very bad) gaffe. WH.GOV We debate and disagree. We compare and contrast the character of the candidates, the records, the issues, the agenda, the vision for America. But in America, we resolve our differences at the battel [ballot] box. You know, that's how we do it, at the battol [ballot] box, not with bullets. The power to change America should always rest in the hands of the people, not in the hands of a would-be assassin. You know, the path forward through competing visions of the campaign should always be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. 7:37 AM - Jul 15, 2024 -122.8K Views Merriam battol Webster "battol" The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary.
