During a new interview, President Biden said that former President Barack Obama had asked him to be his vice president in 2020 – which was during the Trump administration.
Biden made his comments during an interview on Complex’s “360 With Speedy” that was taped late last week.
“But I didn’t plan on running because when I, in 2020, when I, my, when Barack asked me to be vice president, I, uh, I, I joined him, which was a great honor and, uh, but after that I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,” Biden said.
Biden had actually been asked by Obama to be his vice president in 2008 and he served in that role until he left office in 2017.
Biden’s comments come amid widespread calls for him to quit his presidential campaign and resign from office due to increasingly worrisome signs of cognitive decline.
