Awkward moment Elizabeth Warren laughs when asked if Joe Biden was as sharp as her

This is the awkward moment Elizabeth Warren laughed when asked if Joe Biden was ‘as sharp’ as her.

The Democratic Massachusetts senator appeared on the Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso podcast on Sunday (20 April).

Fragoso asked Warren if she regretted previous statements that Biden had “a mental acuity” up until he dropped out of the 2024 presidential election in July.

The senator replied, “I said what I believed to be true.”

Fragoso pressed, “You think he was as sharp as you?”

Warren froze for a moment before laughing silently. She appeared to catch herself and quickly doubled down to defend her past remarks, saying, “I said I had not seen decline.”
