Speaking to Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio, the president said Biden “had himself in a certain group of people” with his debate stage promising to choose a woman to share the ticket.

“I would be inclined to go a different route than what he did,” he told Travis. “Actually, he called himself into a certain group of people, which is good.”

“He said he had to choose a woman,” Travis replied.

“He said that, and you know, some people would say men are offended by that and some people would say it’s okay,” Trump added. “I do not know. I will say this: People do not vote for the Vice President … People do not vote for the Vice President. They really do not, they do not vote for the Vice President. You could choose George Washington to to be your vice president. Let’s pick up Abraham Lincoln from the dead. “

Trump then went on to paint a reference to claims about the mental acuity and sharpness of the former vice president, a frequent topic of conversation for the president and his allies.

“They just do not seem to be voting for the vice president. Now, in this case, you know, because Joe’s have some things going on, let’s not mess with ourselves unless you – I do not know where your policy is. “But Joe’s got some pretty big things going on. So this is going to be a very important choice, and it’s going to be interesting to see who he chooses,” he said.
