Biden could 'beat the daylights' out of Trump in a push-up contest, former DNC chairman boasts
Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean confidently declared that President Biden could "beat the daylights" out of Donald Trump in a push-up contest, while commenting on the two candidates' health on Tuesday.
Dean appeared on MSNBC's "The Beat with Ari Melber" to give his thoughts on the state of the 2024 race and who would clinch the GOP nomination.
Dean mocked Trump, saying 81-year-old Biden could easily win against him in a physical matchup, though Trump would probably beat Biden in a "cheeseburger-eating contest."
"I'll bet you anything that Joe Biden could beat the daylights out of Trump in a push-up contest, for example, and Trump knows it too. Although if it was a cheeseburger eating contest, it might turn out differently," he joked.

Dean discussed Trump challenger Nikki Haley's increasingly unlikely chances after the former president handily won primaries in Michigan and in Haley's home state of South Carolina.
Dean claimed Trump had "more or less fixed the nomination," but Haley could offer herself as an alternative to the 77-year-old candidate if he had health problems.
"If you look at these primaries going on, the one tomorrow, for example, most of the delegates are already going to be decided by convention which Trump is stacked… He’s rigged the election essentially, so only he can get enough delegates to win," Dean predicted.
"Haley’s hope has to be that she can present herself well as an alternative to Trump so that the convention can accept her should either Trump have a health problem, which he’s certain just as likely as Biden to have if not more," he claimed.
