US President Joe Biden, during a media briefing on Sunday, asserted he was the “Vice President during the (Covid-19) pandemic.

Biden also said during the time, former President Barack Obama asked him to go to “Detroit to fix it”.

Notably, Mike Pence was the Vice President during the pandemic.

A part of Biden’s presser was widely shared on social media.

“When I was Vice President, things were kind of bad during the pandemic,” Biden said.

“What happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it’. Well, the poor mayor, he spent more time with me than he thought he was ever going to have to,” he added.

In February this year, Biden referred to terror group Hamas as ‘Opposition’.

The US President was asked about the ongoing hostage negotiations between Hamas and Israel, to which he responded saying, “There has been a response from the opposition.”

Earlier, Biden, while addressing a crowd in Las Vegas, claimed he met former French president Francois Mitterrand soon after he (Biden) was elected.

(Francois Mitterrand died in January 1996.)

Biden is already the oldest President to serve in office, and if he were elected to serve another four years, Biden would leave office at the age of 86.
