Joe Biden and Barack Obama Join Forces in New Video Attacking Trump

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and former U.S. President Barack Obama stepped up their attacks on US President Donald Trump and defended their time in the White House in a new video showing their first in-person meeting since the coronavirus outbreak began.

In one segment in the 15-minute video posted online Thursday, Biden discussed the final months before his son Beau died of brain cancer and tied it to the 2010 health care law Obama signed.

Biden said he recalled thinking "to myself, what would happen if his insurance company was able to come in — which they could have done before we passed Obamacare — and said, 'You have outrun your insurance'."

Obama says, "I couldn't be prouder of what we got done."

The meeting in the video — and the Biden campaign promoting it to voters — illustrates the larger role Obama is expected to play for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in the months before the November US election.

Joe Biden forgot who his running mate is.

Obama /Biden 8 years to make real change in the black community. And they lost the opportunity.
Trump 2020 🇺🇸 baby.

[masonjames]

Joe needs him to fill in the gaps in his memory

Joe Biden: "I have a Joke."
CNN: "Ok, what's the joke?"
Joe Biden: "My name is Joe Biden, I heard I'm running for President of the United States of America"

Opposite sides of the room. That’s some major social distancing lol.

[marc.ristau]

The former and the future president of the US. Wonder why you guys hadn’t had a president for the four years in between

Obama did more talking than Biden did. Is he running? Why can't we get a debate between Biden and Trump? Why doesn't he take interviews. Oh yea, that's right.

[schatzip]

If the only way 'gotta go Joe' can convey his message is if he leans on Obama to do his smooth talking, I don't think things are going to go all that well for him.

The Greatest President Ever !!! TRUMP 2020

[SmashtheCmachine]

"Look me over. If you like what you see, vote for me. If not, vote for the other guy..." <-Joe "Vote for the other guy..." Biden.

[tamalyncervin]

Anyone care to chime in on the abortion industry and planned parenthood?

[Matt-ydnm]

Biden has no policies other than stopping Trump. Biden voters (lol) can't even explain why they are voting for him without mentioning Trump

Two of the biggest losers of all time. Trump 2020 landslide victory ✌️ 🇺🇸

[barefoofDr]

Uncle Joe Biden and Uncle Joe Stalin are two peas in a pod.

[lelethanh]

They just played the show.What did they do for 8 years in the White House. They shouldn’t proud of themselves. They shamed themselves.

For all you Obama lovers remember this isn't going to be Obama: Part 2

[dannygitmo]

Why go backwards and vote for Obama's waterboy? Sure..times are tough...but we have a President taking effective actions to overcome.
