'Good friend' Trump

After resounding boo's from the people, Biden continued with his speech, remembering the "big fight" he had with Trump.

"The big fight you may remember going on was with our good friend, the former president, who decided to fire all the inspector generals," Biden said.

"I said, ‘You shouldn’t do that.’ Well, guess what? Now we’re finding out there are billions of [Covid-19 relief] dollars were stolen." the US President added.

During his speech in Philadelphia, Biden jokingly said: "As you can tell, I’ve only been around a few years — like 400,” after declaring he would “never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.”

Biden, 80-year-old, is the oldest president in the US history. He is gearing up for a contest against the 76-year-old Trump in the next election.

Biden would be 86 if he gets elected and completes a full second term.

On Thursday, Biden unveiled a $6.9 trillion budget and challenged Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to detail his own plan.
