Talking about this week’s Democratic National Convention(DMC), he said that it was the “most creative, inclusive convention he’d ever had.” The DMC was earlier scheduled for July, but was pushed to August due to the pandemic. In his address, Biden also added that he now doubted if they’ll ever go back to the “same exact convention” that they had in the past.

While talking to the delegates, he also lambasted US President Donald Trump saying that he wasn’t smart enough to be president. He said that earlier, he thought that Trump was 'callous', but now he thinks that Trump was 'just not smart enough to know what to do.'
