President Joe Biden said he thought he could have beaten former president Donald Trump if he had stayed in the race instead of dropping out and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
In an interview with USA Today’s Susan Page that published Wednesday, Biden said it was “presumptuous” for him to say, but he thought he could have won against Trump based on the polling.
Polls showed Biden falling behind Trump before he stepped aside, and that he lost ground after a shaky debate performance in June reinforced criticism that he wasn’t up for the job.
