Biden Does Not Deny Democrats Forced Him Out, Claims He Would’ve Won

President Joe Biden did not deny this week that Democrats, led by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), forced him out of the presidential race over the summer.

Biden was asked the question by Alyssa Farah Griffin during a fawning interview Wednesday morning on ABC News’ “The View” after Democrats and the media launched an intense campaign to pressure Biden out of the race following his disastrous debate performance in late June against former President Donald Trump.

“Did you feel that your hand was forced?” Griffin asked. “And what is your relationship with Speaker Pelosi now?”

“My relationship is fine. Look, I, I never fully believed the assertions that somehow there was this overwhelming reluctance of my running again,” Biden claimed. “I didn’t sense that. And although the polling, they said, ‘Biden’s polling was different,’ the fact of the matter is, my polling was about, you know, we’re always within range of beating this guy.”

“And, uh, but, uh, I, what I did was, I think there were, it makes sense, there are some folks who would like to see me step aside so they have a chance to move on,” he said. “I get that. That’s just human nature. But that wasn’t the reason that I stepped down. I stepped down because I started thinking about it. You know, it’s hard to think, I know you’re only 30, but it’s hard to think of, it’s hard for me to even say how old I am. No, I’m serious. I give my word, it’s like holy God, that can’t be right. This can’t be right.”

When asked if he thought that he could have beaten Trump, Biden answered: “Yes, I, I, I was confident, I, I, would beat Trump. He’s a loser.”
