Biden Warns Trump is a ‘Grave Threat’ to U.S. Security in TV Interview
In a candid and revealing TV interview, former President Joe Biden, who recently withdrew from the White House race, issued a stark warning about the potential dangers of a Donald Trump presidency. Speaking to CBS News, Biden, 81, described Trump as “a genuine danger to American security” and cautioned that the stakes have never been higher for the future of democracy.
Biden, appearing frail yet lucid, acknowledged his withdrawal after a lackluster debate performance against Trump that had amplified concerns about his age and mental acuity. He admitted his decision was influenced by the fear among Democratic colleagues that his continued presence in the race could jeopardize their re-election prospects.
“My obligation is to the country,” Biden stated emphatically, underscoring the importance of defeating Trump. Despite stepping back, Biden vowed to remain actively involved, particularly in supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, who has taken his place on the ballot and has since gained significant momentum.
Biden’s departure has breathed new life into the Democratic campaign, with Harris enjoying a surge in support that has left Trump and his campaign on the defensive. Trump, whose light campaign schedule has raised eyebrows, has faced increased scrutiny, especially as his running mate J.D. Vance has taken the lead in media appearances, fielding tough questions on controversial topics like abortion and white supremacist attacks.
As the 2024 election heats up, the battle lines are drawn, with Biden and Harris firmly positioning themselves as the guardians of democracy, determined to prevent Trump from reclaiming the presidency.
