President Joe Biden took jabs at former President Donald Trump during Saturday's Gridiron Club Dinner, an annual roast in Washington where politicians and journalists dress in white tie to continue a longstanding, bipartisan tradition.
"The big news this week is two candidates clinched their parties' nomination for president," Biden said in remarks. "One candidate is too old, mentally unfit to be president. The other's me."
Biden also teased Republicans who, he said, "would rather fail at impeachment than succeed at anything else." "They want a secure border but they block it for the strongest border bill ever," he said. "They take credit for one [of the] biggest infrastructure laws but voted against it. And I'm the one confused?"
It was Biden's first appearance at the dinner during his presidency and comes as he enters one of the longest general election cycles in American history, after he and Trump clinched the number of delegates necessary to win their party's nominations this week.
