Joe Biden's 'The Daily Show' interview with Trevor Noah touches on protests and his appeal to young voters

Former Vice President Joe Biden sat down (virtually) with The Daily Show's Trevor Noah for an interview, in part, spent addressing his weaknesses as a presidential nominee.

"The good news is the bad news," Biden said. "The good news is the people know me, and they know me warts and all. The bad news is they know me. And so [Trump's] not going to be able to make things stick that aren't already real weaknesses of mine. And I have weaknesses, for real."

Asked what those weaknesses are, Biden brought his proclivity for saying whatever comes to mind.

From there, the lengthy interview touched on voting rights, Biden's pitch to economy-minded voters, and, importantly, the recent, massive protests full of demonstrators who want an outright revolution.

The former VP said he thinks young voters are learning more about him and appreciating some of his history.

"Things are beginning to change," he said. "And I have changed. I have changed."
