Joe Biden gave an unusual answer while giving his first post-election interview with Kamala Harris on how he would handle major disagreements with her in their administration.

"So I don’t have — when we disagree, it will be just like — so far it’s been just like Barack and I did. It’s in private. She’ll say I think we should do a, B, C, or D. And I’ll say I like a, don’t like B or C. Okay. And like I told Barack, if I read something where there’s a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle, I’ll develop some disease and say I have to resign," Biden said.

"We don’t have — and we discussed at length our views on foreign policy, on domestic policy, on intelligence. And the great thing is she has a background in the Senate, on intelligence, the intelligence committee. She has a background in the Senate on a whole range of things that are going to be pertinent to what we have to do. But it’s going to be — I think so much is going to be incoming, Jake. It’s a matter who takes what when," Biden added.

Biden's answer was met with questions on what exactly he meant when he said he'll "develop some disease and say I have to resign." It could be an attempt at a joke, but no one laughed.
