"But whatever else can be said about crooked Joe Biden, you have to give him credit for one brilliant decision, probably the smartest decision he's ever made. He picked Kamala Harris as his vice president. No, it was brilliant because it was an insurance policy. Maybe the best insurance policy I've ever seen, Marco. If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent, they would have bounced him from office years ago. But they can't because she's got to be their second choice. She has no choice and no chance."
Speaking at his golf club in Doral, Florida, Trump stayed mum on his planned choice for his running mate.
Taking the stage nearly an hour late on a hot night, Trump blasted the 81-year-old Biden about his shaky debate performance on June 27, which prompted worries about his mental fitness for office and calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
Biden said he had a bad night and that he will not drop out of the presidential race.
Seemingly joking, Trump challenged Biden to another debate and to 18 holes of golf - a reference to their argument during the debate over who was better at the sport.
