During an interview with Mika Brezinski on “Morning Joe” on Tuesday, 2020 frontrunner Joe Biden talked tough about how he’d fight back against Donald Trump in the campaign:
Q: If you weren't ready for Kamala Harris, are you ready for Donald Trump?@JoeBiden: I'm used to bullies…I know it'll be an ugly campaign, it won't be an honorable campaign he'll run, but I'm not backing down from him. I don't want to attack anyone on stage…

This appears to include a “feats of strength” part of the debate where Biden would challenge the president to do push-ups on stage if Trump challenges his “age or mental state”:

For some reason, “Morning Joe” left out the wacky push-up challenge from their clip:

Anyway, here’s Laura Ingraham zinging the former veep, reminding him of another failed veep candidate who also liked to show off the results of his workouts:
Maybe Biden and Paul Ryan could start a workout franchise together. What would it be called? https://t.co/Ikk0yxxXmh

We’ll just sit back and watch the clown show:

Because nothing will show America that Biden’s mental health is OK than this, right?

Nothing says “full faculties” like running on 2013’s lie of the year and pledging to perform feats is strength. https://t.co/Wixvi4b02X

Even libs are dragging him over it:
This is… not the answer, I'm fairly certain. https://t.co/wycbXrrWKP

Imagine the reaction if Harris or Warren threatened Trump with a push-up contest.
The women would win but imagine Chuck Todd's reaction and the Sunday morning shows. The female candidate would instantly be discredited. Why is it accepted when an older white man does it? https://t.co/rQllyxm1sw

Bernie: We need to dismantle a broken system
Warren: We need to fix a broken system
