Biden also defended Graham Platner, the Democrat nominee for a Maine senate seat, who is under fire for allegations of toxic, dishonest relationships with women and having a Nazi tattoo.

He told Newsom that few Americans would survive the “show me your phone” test and be elected to office.

“If that’s the standard by which we are going to judge people, particularly people in elected office, then I don’t think we’re going to have many people in elected office.”Biden told Newsom.

He also joked with the governor about a presidential run, telling the governor: “Here’s the deal. I’ll run, but only as your VP.”

The podcast appearance has set off some critics who poked fun at Newsom’s decision to host Biden, who’s had a controversial history.
