President Biden discusses his decision to step down, criticizes Trump, reflects on his legacy, and supports Kamala Harris for 2024.
President Joe Biden took command as he sat down live in studio with all six co-hosts of The View on Thursday.
The president reflected on his decision to step down in July, while criticizing his former opponent Donald Trump.
After a lengthy pause when asked about Trump, Biden said he has « no social redeeming value. »
The president said Trump is remarkably unconventional and lacks an understanding of the importance of partnerships, alliances and global unity.
« He really does not believe in democracy or the guardrails our system has set up to prevent the abuse of power », Biden said. « Just look at what he says and what he does. »
Biden also discussed the legacy he hopes to leave after more than 50 years in public service.
In July, President Joe Biden announced he will not seek reelection in the 2024 presidential race and threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden’s decision came after weeks of mounting pressure from within his own party and key Democratic donors, who urged him to step aside for the sake of the party’s future.
