Joe Biden admitted late on Monday to having “a little bit of a cold” after he repeatedly coughed and cleared his throat during a speech earlier in the evening in which he called for unity and healing after attacking President Donald Trump and Republicans.

“Thank you, I have a little bit of a cold, I’m sorry, but look, you know, you did it, you did it, not a joke,” Biden said during a live stream, according to Fox News. “This campaign for president was more like the first time I ran as a 29-year-old for the Senate. I believed that ordinary folks and extraordinary folks would get together and make this work. You didn’t let us down. You didn’t let the country down. I really mean it, think about it.”
