I loved it it sounds corny, but I loved my country more, Biden said.
Did you feel your hand was forced and what is your relationship with Nancy Pelosi now?
Watch on Deadline
Biden gave a terse, My relationship is fine.
Joe Biden on ‘The View’ABC
I didnt sense that.
And although they said Bidens polling was different.
The fact of the matter is, my polling was … always within range of being this guy.
Thats just human nature.
But that wasnt the reason that I stepped down.
I stepped down because I started thinking about it.
I give my word.
Its like, holy God, that cant be right.
This cant be right.'
Joy Behar then interjected, By the way, the number gives me vertigo.
She and Biden are the same age 81.
Biden said, No woman close to me is as old as I am.
Whoopi Goldberg then quipped, Right now they are.
Biden said that he thinks that he still would have won had he stayed in the race.
I was confident I would beat Trump, Biden said.
Goldberg told Biden that she disagreed with the pressure campaign to get Biden to drop out.
I didnt like the way it was done publicly.
I didnt like it.
She added to Biden, You were my ride or die.
I was going wherever you were going.
Referring to Trump, Goldberg said, Then he just wouldnt go.
He was like a bug.
He just kept being there.
Overall, Bidens sitdown onThe Viewwas very friendly territory.
Biden praised his vice president several times, saying, She is bright.
There wasnt a single thing that I did that she couldnt do, he said.
Behar asked about Trumps claim that Bidens rhetoric is to blame for two assassination attempts against him.
In a bit of understatement, Biden said, I think he is the most unusual president.
I dont think he even understands what he is doing, he said.
Biden calls former Pres.
Trump “the most unusual president” on#TheViewwhen asked about Trump’s political rhetoric.
I think I used to drive Barack crazy [during his presidency].
And I would say to him, Barack, remember, All politics is personal, including international.
It matters to build trust.
I do, and its right.
I dont agree with his position.
There needs to be a two-state solution ultimately it needs to happen.
Theres a way to do it and they have a possibility.
I dont want to exaggerate it, but a possibility if we can deal with a ceasefire in Lebanon.
That it can move into dealing with the West Bank.
But we also have Gaza to deal with.
