On Wednesday, Biden sat down for an interview on The View, in which he discussed how he is "at peace" with his decision to drop out of the race and pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.

The president went on to argue that he "never fully believed" there was "overwhelming reluctance" to him continuing his campaign after his disastrous debate performance against Trump back in June but admitted he dropped out because of his age.

When asked if he thought he would have won the race had he not dropped out, Biden responded, "I was confident I would beat Trump; he's a loser."

The nearly 30-minute interview touched on a number of topics, such as Biden's long history in politics and his various achievements as president.

Biden later shared that Trump's arguably dangerous rhetoric makes him "the most unusual president" in history but said it inspired him to run in 2020 as he sought to restore the "soul of the nation."

President Biden also praised Harris for being a "tough" and "honorable" presidential candidate and argued that the best way for her to beat Trump in November is for her to "be herself."
