Biden brands Trump a ‘genuine danger’ to American security
- In his first TV interview since dropping out of White House race, US president also told CBS News he will campaign hard for Kamala Harris
US President Joe Biden, in his first television interview since dropping out of the White House race, warned that Republican candidate Donald Trump was “a genuine danger to American security”.
“He’s a genuine danger to American security. Look, we’re at an inflection point in world history … and democracy is the key.”
In the short television interview, recorded in the White House last week, he appeared frail but cogent, again admitting he failed in the debate but stressing that healthwise he has “no serious problem”.
Explaining his exit, he said other Democratic Party politicians standing for re-election feared he would damage their chances – and added that his only priority was to stop Trump from returning to power.
“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the [election] races,” he said.
