“Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I think she’s not qualified to be president,” the 81-year-old said to gasps and groans from journalists at the annual NATO summit.
Biden spoke with a soft, raspy voice, frequently paused to cough, and at points lost his train of thought at what his aides had promoted as a “big boy press conference” at Washington’s Convention Center— which had been called dispel mounting Democratic calls for him to step aside after a confused June 27 debate against Trump.
Trump, 78, ridiculed his successor in a statement on social media.
