Biden would be the first to claim he is in charge I remember that scene from the Nixon Watergate resignation, with General Alexander Haig huffing and puffing, in a press conference shortly after the announcement of RMN's resignation, "I'm in charge here!"
The US and history didn't treat too kindly Gen. Haig's desperate-sounding, out-of-turn, usurping claim.

Your memory is pretty bad. I guess that happens with age! LOL!
Alexander Haig was in the Army during Watergate. The incident you're referring to happened when he was Secretary of State under Reagan, and in the immediate aftermath of Reagan being shot. He was telling the press he was in charge of the local situation, NOT usurping the authority of the Vice President as the press made it out to be.
