Joe Biden suggested Donald Trump “ought to get a job” as he responded to a question about criticism of the US economy.

Mr Trump has attacked Mr Biden and his presidential rival, Kamala Harris, over inflation in recent weeks, and has vowed to “make America affordable again” if he is elected in November.

On Thursday (15 August), Mr Biden was questioned on that suggestion.

“He ought to get a job,” the president responded.
