Trump Doesn’t Think Biden Will Drop Out: ‘Nobody Wants To Give Up That Way’

Trump spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity as Biden seeks to staunch his political losses in Washington this week following the president’s troubling performance at their debate matchup last month.

The Biden campaign hit back at Trump after the interview, saying the presumptive GOP nominee remained a “habitual liar” and “a 34-time convicted criminal still running on his Project 2025 agenda to destroy America.”

“Most importantly, still going to lose this November,” James Singer, a Biden campaign spokesman, told media outlets.

Hannity went on to ask the former president how he’d feel about running against another competitor should Biden exit the race, namely Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump said his team had “prepared” to face Biden, but he didn’t think it would ultimately matter who the Democratic nominee was.

“I think that it will be her, I think they are very concerned
