Joe Biden's 'single best decision' he made as president met with mockery on Internet

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA: President Joe Biden joined Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail for the first time since exiting the 2024 race in July, endorsing the latter to retain the Democratic legacy in the White House.

The 81-year-old was met with cheers as he introduced the Democratic presidential nominee, revealing that "the single best decision I made as president of the United States of America" was choosing Harris as his vice president in 2020, as per The Daily Beast.

Speaking at a Labor Day campaign rally at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local #5 in Pittsburgh on September 2, Biden reflected on his special bond with Harris and ripped into his predecessor Donald Trump's pitfalls as president.

Joe Biden says choosing Kamala Harris as VP was 'best decision' he made as POTUS

Towards the end of his speech, Joe Biden revealed the deep bond he shared with his Democratic primary rival turned vice president. Kamala Harris stood next to the president, side-hugging him as he praised her.

"Let me tell you about this woman. I know her. I trust her. Not a joke. The first decision I made as nominee in 2020 was selecting her as my vice president," Biden said.

"And by the way, it was the single best decision I made as president of the United States of America," he added, prompting the crowd to cheer and applaud.

Biden continued hailing Harris, claiming he was aware she would be "a good president." He further touted Harris' victory, asserting her backbone was like a ramrod, her moral compass was that of a saint, and she knew what she was doing.

Biden ended his speech by proclaiming Harris could turn  "Donald Trump a loser again."

Joe Biden lists how a second Trump presidency could impact labor unions

Before delving into his Kamala Harris-praising session, Joe Biden attacked his former rival Donald Trump, pointing out how the real estate mogul's second White House term could adversely impact the labor unions.

"Remember, Trump, for four years, promised every month, infrastructure week, for four years he promised that," the president said.  "He didn't build a damn thing. Nothing. I mean it, not nothing."

Further, he declared that the Biden-Harris administration made a lot of headway and would continue to be on the sidelines doing everything he could to help Harris build on that progress.

"He'd [Trump] rather cross [a picket line] than walk one. I have no problem walking the picket line. Neither does Kamala," said Biden, who became the first president to take part in a picket line when he joined striking laborers last year.

"It's all at risk because of Donald Trump, with the stroke of a pen he can get rid a lot of this, and do you think this guy gives a damn about your pensions?" the octogenarian added.

Pennsylvania, a key battleground state with 19 electoral votes, could be decisive in the final outcome of the November 5 election. Harris held rallies in Pittsburgh and Michigan's Detroit on Labor Day to woo workers, while Trump stayed away from the campaign trail on September 2.

Joe Biden ridiculed for saying choosing Kamala Harris as VP was 'best decision'

Joe Biden's statement of considering the selection of Kamala Harris to be his vice president as the "single best decision" he made as POTUS drew brutal mockery online. Many netizens quipped that the rest of his decisions were worse, while some added Harris' selection to the list.

"Lol. He didn’t make that decision either," a user said.

"Technically, he's right. All his other decisions were even worse!" another added.

"All of his decisions have been train wrecks. So basically…he’s saying that she is the best train wreck," one user wrote.

"The best decision he made as president was selecting Kamala as VP. LMAO. Well, I guess since every decision he made was awful, it’s hard to disagree," someone else chimed in.

"So, he's admitting that every other decision was even a worst disaster? Got it," another remarked.

"Probably true, but it’s a very low bar," an individual quipped.

"The best decision you could have made was not running in the first place," someone else said.

"Well he hasn't really done anything else, so yeah, that's basically his only accomplishment," read one remark.

"Don’t laugh, he could be right. The bar is very low," another user joked.
