Donald Trump believes Joe Biden will stay in the race for the White House despite calls for him to drop out over concerns about his mental fitness.
Trump made the comments to radio host Sean Hannity on Fox News on Monday night, in his first interview since Mr Biden’s disastrous performance in their presidential debate last month.
“I think he, you know, might very well stay in,” Trump said, adding: “He’s got an ego and he doesn’t want to quit.”
The former president gave his first detailed account of the presidential debate, in which Mr Biden appeared to lose his train of thought and at times spoke incoherently.
“I will tell you. It was a strange debate, because within a couple of minutes, the answers given by him were, they didn’t, they didn’t make a lot of sense,” Trump said.
Trump said he intentionally did not look much at Biden as he spoke.
“I did take a couple of peeks when he was in the midst of giving some really bad answers,” Trump said.
“They weren’t even answers. They were just words put together that had no meaning or sense.”
