During an interview on Monday, President Joe Biden shared his thoughts on former President Donald Trump's choice of Ohio Sen. JD Vance as a running mate. Biden expressed that he was not surprised by Trump's decision, noting that Trump tends to surround himself with individuals who align closely with his views.
Biden also referenced Vance's past criticisms of Trump, highlighting Vance's involvement in the 'never-Trump' Republican movement in 2016. Despite their previous differences, Biden seemed to take a lighthearted approach to the situation, even laughing as he mentioned Vance's prior remarks about Trump.
When asked about his debate performance and whether he felt he had weathered the storm, Biden pointed to the support he received from primary voters. He emphasized that 14 million people voted for him to be the Democratic Party nominee, indicating that he values the opinions of those who supported him.
Regarding the debate with Trump, Biden admitted that he had only seen bits and pieces of it and had not watched the entire event. This response suggests that Biden may not have closely reviewed the full debate footage between himself and Trump.
