Joe Biden became flustered as he told a heckler to "shush up" before joking that the man could probably "take" him in a fight.
A heckler interrupted the president's speech at the the Union train station in Washington DC as he spoke about his American Rescue Plan which had the "biggest investment in childcare ever".
The man intervened as Biden discussed "care workers recognition month".
Responding to the heckler, he said: "I tell you what - You want to come make a speech or shush up, okay?"

After retelling the story of the death of his wife and daughter, he said: "Thank God I had a family and a lot of friends, older family members like me" who could help care for his sons.

Condemning the Republicans, Biden added: "Our Republican friends let that expire. Well, we've got to expire a couple of them politically."
