WASHINGTON (AP) —President Joe Biden says he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power come January if Donald Trump loses the November election.

His comments, which were part of a CBS interview that took place Wednesday, echo his earlier warnings about Trump and democracy.

“He means what he says,” Biden said during the interview for “CBS Sunday Morning.” “We don’t take him seriously. He means it.”

Biden added, “You can’t love your country only when you win.”

The sit-down interview is Biden’s first since he announced July 21 that he would end his reelection bid.
