Analysis
No transcript, video, or reputable news report from Biden’s October 2020 campaign appearances contains this exact statement. Fact‑checking outlets have found no evidence of Biden saying he has "known more presidents than anybody" followed by the quoted criticism of Trump. The phrasing appears to be a fabricated or heavily altered version of Biden’s actual remarks.
Background
During the 2020 campaign, Biden often referenced his long tenure in the Senate and his experience with multiple presidents, but his comments about Trump focused on policy differences rather than the specific language quoted here. Misquotations of political speeches are common and require verification against primary sources such as official transcripts and video recordings.
Verdict summary
The quoted words were not spoken by Joe Biden in October 2020.
