"I don't even think about (it)," he said about the prospects of facing his nemesis Trump again. "I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party. Do you?"

This response has caught the eye of people and media. This hilarious statement has gone viral on Twitter. While some are laughing at Biden's sarcasm while agreeing with him, others are upset at the nature of his statement.
