If Donald Trump runs against him again in the White House race, President Joe Biden would consider himself very fortunate.
As the Democrat faces low public approval ratings, and as Trump has signaled he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, Biden's swaggering remark came as a surprise.
In the next election, I would be very fortunate if that man ran against me, Biden said at a news conference from NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
Biden defeated Trump in the popular vote and Electoral College votes in the 2020 election.
Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton by 2 percentage points despite winning the Electoral College.
There are widespread concerns in Europe that a figure like your predecessor might get elected president again, which is why Biden commented on Trump.
The journalist asked if NATO was trying to prevent Trump from reversing the alliance's initiatives.
After leaving office as vice president, Biden said he had no intention of running for president, but changed his mind when he saw racists at the Unite the Right rally.
The gentleman was asked what he thought and he said there were good people on both sides.
He said that he decided he wasn't going to be quiet.
The president noted that when he sat down at the NATO meeting, America was back.
One of my counterparts asked how long.
Biden told the reporter he didn't criticize them for asking about Trump running again.
For more than a year, Trump has claimed that he and not Biden won the election. Biden's victory was based on ballot fraud according to Trump and his allies.
Dozens of lawsuits brought by Trump and his allies were dismissed. Biden was impeached by the House for inciting insurrection after his victory in the presidential election. The Senate found Trump not guilty.
As he suggests he could run for the White House again, Trump has repeated false election claims.
Two weeks ago at a speech to Republican donors in New Orleans, Trump said that he had already won two presidential elections.
Trump said that he felt obligated to look at doing it again.
He said that they were looking at it very strongly. We have to do it. We have to do it.
