This isn’t the first time Biden has made comments about fighting with Trump. He made similar remarks in October 2016.

“The press always ask me don’t I wish I were debating him?” Biden said at the time, according to Business Insider. “No, I wish we were in high school I could take him behind the gym — that’s what I wish.”
