Despite the disruption, Biden maintained his composure and continued with his speech, even injecting his trademark humor. He quipped about his long political career, saying, "I served in the Senate for 270 years; I was too damn young. Now, I'm too damn old." He also took a jab at his 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump, humorously dubbing him "Donald Dump."

She added, "I could speak all afternoon about the person I am standing on this stage with." In a warm moment, Biden responded, "I love you guys too," and playfully suggested that Harris is "going to make a hell of a president."
