Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called US President Joe Biden's address to the nation "so bad" in a fresh dig at the 81-year-old. Biden, who dropped out of the White House race after weeks of mounting pressure from fellow Democrats, said that he is "passing the torch to a new generation" as he explained his reasons for the move.
Donald Trump was less amused by the US President's speech from the Oval Office.
"Crooked Joe Biden's Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad," the former US President wrote on Truth Social.
In another post, Trump called Biden and "lying" Kamala Harris a "great embarrassment to America".
"There has never been a time like this," he wrote.
Joe Biden announced his decision to quit the US presidential race while recovering from Covid-19 in Delaware. The move was surprising as the 81-year-old had been defiant in the face of increasing pressure from Democrats and the party's donors.
Biden's electoral prospects went downhill after a dismal debate performance against Trump on June 28.
The US President has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the top job, who has pulled in broad support across the Democratic Party and revitalised the party's election campaign.
Meanwhile, hours before the US President's address to the nation, Donald Trump attempted to quash some of the momentum that Harris created in an aggressive speech at a rally in Charlotte. He called Harris a "radical Left lunatic who will destry" America if she "ever gets elected".
"As border czar, Kamala threw open our borders that allowed 20 million illegal aliens to stampede into our country from all over the world," the Republican presidential candidate said to cheering supporters.
"I will terminate every single open border policy of the Biden Harris administration, and we will seal the border, and we will stop Kamala Harris invasion without delay," the former president said.
The first Black woman and Asian-American to serve as the country's Vice President, Kamala Harris would become the first woman elected President if she manages to win the November 5 elections.
At her first campaign rally on Tuesday, her 17-minute speech focused on Donald Trump's vulnerabilities - with her comparing her background as a former prosecutor to his record as a convicted felon.
