“If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all.”

That was the answer President Joe Biden gave to NBC’s Robert Costa on Wednesday, when asked, “Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?”

It was Biden’s first interview since being removed by the Democratic Party apparatchik from the 2024 race for the presidency. The full interview is to run on Sunday morning. He then corrected himself and said “if Trump loses” he cannot guarantee a peaceful transfer of power. In the end, what he really meant was unclear.

Recently, Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland warned that the Democratic Party would use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from becoming president. Now, the president is refusing to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power.
