President Biden cast his early-voting ballot in Delaware on Monday, expressing confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris's ability to defeat former President Donald Trump. Biden labeled Trump's recent rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City as an embarrassment.

Waiting in line with fellow voters outside the state of Delaware Department of Elections, Biden displayed a gesture of kindness by assisting an elderly woman in a wheelchair before casting his ballot. When asked if the moment was bittersweet, Biden responded with a simple 'No, this is just sweet.'

Biden labels Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden as an embarrassment.

In July, Biden withdrew from his re-election campaign following concerns about his health and doubts within the Democratic Party about his chances against Trump.

Commenting on Trump's rally, Biden remarked that it was beneath the dignity of any president, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming election. He criticized Trump for consistently raising doubts about his own character with his statements.

Meanwhile, Trump addressed a large crowd at Madison Square Garden, focusing on immigration issues, inflation, consumer costs, and border security in his speech.

Regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, Biden called for a cease-fire to end the ongoing war. He also expressed concern about the Russia-Ukraine conflict, particularly noting the danger posed by North Korea's reported deployment of troops to assist Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Responding to questions about Elon Musk's offer of $1 million to swing-state voters supporting his political action committee's petition, Biden deemed the offer as 'totally inappropriate' and potentially constituting election interference.

When asked about the prospects of Democrats, including Vice President Harris, winning the election, Biden expressed optimism, stating, 'I think we will.'
