“Last night the Democratic National Convention kicked off, and Joe Biden was supposed to deliver the primetime speech, but he didn’t take the stage until 11:30,” the “Tonight Show” host said Tuesday. “In an odd twist, Biden was awake at midnight while the rest of the country was asleep.”
He added, “Yeah, all night Democrats were chanting, ‘We love you, Joe!’ while Biden must have been thinking, ‘um, apparently not as much as others.’”
“Yep, being at the convention after dropping out of the race had to be a bitter pill to swallow. Although, at 81, it blends in with all the other pills,” he went on.
The comedian also went all out on Biden on Monday night, repeatedly zinging the president over his DNC appearance.
Biden gave a late-night keynote address Monday, touting his record and passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris as his chosen successor after exiting the 2024 race last month. His decision followed a shocking June debate performance that triggered calls by Democrats for him to drop out.
