Former Vice President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama met face to face for the first time in months to release a campaign video.
Former President Obama and the Democratic candidate teamed up to discuss their time in office together, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and more.
The pair take aim at Donald Trump in the campaign with Biden saying: "Can you imagine standing up when you were President and saying 'it's not my responsibility. I take no responsibility'".

"Those words didn't come out of our mouths while we were in office,' responds Obama.
The pair continue with Biden saying: "I don't understand his inability to get a sense of what people are going through. He just can't relate in any way"
Obama adds: "Well, and one of the things I have always known about you, Joe – it's the reason why I wanted you to be my vice president, and the reason why you were so effective ... it all starts with being able to relate."
On the subject of Obamacare, the former president said: "I mean, you and I both know what it's like to have somebody you love get really sick. And in some cases to lose somebody, but that loss is compounded when you see the stress on their faces, because they're worried that they're being a burden on their families."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
