Vance trolls Biden over waiting ‘to croak’ (VIDEO)

Expecting your boss to die at any moment would have been stressful, the US vice president has told Sean Hannity

Serving under former US President Joe Biden would have been incredibly stressful, US Vice President J.D. Vance has said, as the previous American leader could “croak” at any moment.

Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday, Vance was asked how he handles being first in line to assume presidential powers if Donald Trump were ever unable to serve.

Vance replied that Trump is in strong health and “casts a big shadow,” before adding: “But if I served under Joe Biden, I’d probably be worried every minute of every day that he was going to croak and that I’d have to become president.”

He joked that he would “never be able to sleep” in such a situation and would keep his phone volume at maximum in case the emergency call came.

The decline in Biden’s physical and cognitive condition – long denied as an issue by his administration – became a central political topic after his disastrous performance in an election debate with Trump last year, which prompted Democratic Party leaders to pressure the then-81-year-old to step down as their presidential candidate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
