WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday used his White House correspondents' dinner speech to swipe at former President Donald Trump, taking shots at the presumptive GOP nominee while highlighting the stakes of the election.
Biden cracked jokes at his political rival's expense and tackled age head-on, saying that he was "a grown man running against a six-year-old.”
The president said later that age was the only thing he and Trump had in common, adding, "My vice president actually endorses me," a reference to former Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to say he'll back his former running mate in 2024.
