Biden: Trump is a ‘Genuine Danger to American Security’
In his first television interview since withdrawing from the White House race, President Joe Biden has issued a stark warning about the potential dangers of a Donald Trump presidency. Speaking to CBS News in a pre-taped interview aired on Sunday, Biden, 81, stated, “He’s a genuine danger to American security. Look, we’re at an inflection point in world history… and democracy is the key.”
Biden’s remarks come after his decision to step down from the race following a lackluster debate performance that fueled concerns about his age and mental fitness. Despite appearing frail in the interview, he reassured the public that he has “no serious problem” health-wise and stressed that his priority remains preventing Trump from returning to power.

“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the [election] races,” Biden explained, emphasizing the importance of defeating Trump. “I have an obligation to the country to do what is the most important thing we can do, and that is — we must, we must, we must defeat Trump.”
Biden also expressed his commitment to supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, who has taken his place on the ballot. “I’m going to do whatever Kamala thinks I can do to help most,” he said, reflecting on his decision to continue serving as a “transition president” after his 2020 victory.
While Biden focuses on supporting Harris, Trump’s light campaign schedule has come under scrutiny. His running mate, J.D. Vance, addressed various issues on Sunday morning political talk shows, including white supremacist attacks, child care, and abortion. In a heated exchange on CBS, Vance asserted that “Harris was the one calling the shots” in the Biden administration, a claim he reiterated on CNN.
