After ending the speech, Biden took questions from the audience, the first asking who was his favorite historical figure who was not a president of the United States.
I think my favorite historical figure there is a couple of philosophers who I find understood human nature better than most people, Biden said. But in terms of political figures, maybe my favorite political figure, it is a tough call, I would have to say it is those people who gave America hope. Made them believe in who we are. You said not a president. I would have to start off with Jefferson, even though he didnt live up to it. He is the guy that wrote that incredible document.
This guy is losing it.
I thought for sure this was a Trump quote when I saw it
