President Biden Warns of Consequences if Trump Wins, Labels Him a Genuine Danger to US Security
Joe Biden has given his first interview since withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, speaking with CBS News' Robert Costa. In the conversation, Biden expressed his thoughts on the upcoming election, stating that "we're at an inflection point in world history... and democracy is the key." He also warned that if the current candidate wins, "watch what happens." Biden, 81, has kept a low profile since ending his campaign, but has now spoken out about his decision to drop out, citing concerns that his re-election bid would be a distraction for Democrats. He also addressed concerns about his age and mental acuity, stating that he had "no serious problem" with his health. Additionally, Biden discussed Israel's war on Gaza and labeled Donald Trump a "genuine danger to American security." He also announced that he will be campaigning for Kamala Harris.
A critical issue for me still is maintaining this democracy.... He's (Trump) a genuine danger to American security.
All the stuff about, 'If we lose, there'll be a bloodbath. It'll have to be a stolen election'.
When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition president. I can't even say how old I am. It's hard for me to get it out of my mouth.
The plan I put together, endorsed by the G7, endorsed by the UN Security Council, et cetera, is still viable. And I'm working literally every single day – and my whole team – to see to it that it doesn't escalate into a regional war. But it easily can.
The polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race, would have been down to the wire … But what happened was, a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races.
