He continued speaking, and the Democratic presidential hopeful responded, “If you hush up, I’ll answer your question. If I answer your question, will you let me go on to other things?”
“I promise you I’ll answer your question. Come on up. Come on over here, and we’ll do it after this is over,” Biden continued.
