In my professional opinion the entire video is a deep fake. Some of those smiles are obvious, but the mouth blur and uncanny movements are consistent through the whole video. His jaw does not move correctly, and the teeth keep changing shape.
This is the tech we've all been expecting, and biden may be dead.
It involves computer graphics design, I've followed the ins and outs of neural networking since it came on the scene. I've even set up and run some myself for image manipulation.
About a year ago I watched a video produced by an amateur VFX artist that looked kinda like crap (but he used it to look fake and holgramy on purpose) and it scared the hell out of me because it came from an amateur using open source tech. It was around this time the media first started hyping it up, like they were getting ready to frame someone. Frazzle? A few months later I discovered https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
That website alone is terrifying. The amount of propaganda that is possible with that tech just for making stills, scary stuff.
I've been steadily watching the growth in professional use and hobbyist use ever since. The open sourced ones aren't as advanced as they could easily be with access to certain closed source servers and information. A neural network is really only as good as the amount, and quality of information put into it, and the amount of computation time given for the network to learn. That amateur video I watched used random youtube videos of popular stars. Not the best data source.
For example, AiDungeon is a google project creating a text adventure as you type. It responds to what you type. It's creepy/impressive/ridiculous and stupid all at the same time. But then you find out that the "source" information is Fan Fiction forums... So yea, it produces fan fiction level writing. Due to copywrite concerns it only uses such freely available information, if it was given access to only quality writing, there is no doubt it would perform infinitely better.
There is absolutely no reason the above video could not be made with today's deepfake tech, especially since it is a face on video looking directly into the camera with very little head movement. Given a dataset of widely available speeches from Joe Biden also looking directly into the camera with very little head on movement... It could easily be made.
As someone else pointed out recently, compare his apparent age in that video to post debate videos. He looks 2018 young.

Not being and ass...what is your profession?
