Sean Hannity mocked as he puts Trump on the spot and asks him if he wants Joe Biden to 'step aside'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Sean Hannity got on a phone interview with former President Donald Trump, probing his views on the possibility of Joe Biden quitting the 2024 race following his lackluster performance in CNN's first presidential debate.
"Mr President, what's your take on Joe Biden potentially stepping aside? Does it matter to you?" Hannity bluntly asked during the interview.

The telephonic conversation between Trump and Hannity comes after President Biden adopted a more aggressive strategy to counter calls for his withdrawal after his poor debate performance against Trump, marking a shift from the previous week when he was criticized for not responding promptly as per The Hill.
“Well, we prepared for him, but I don’t think it’s gonna matter,” replied Trump. “We had a great four years, our border was the strongest ever, our economy pre-Covid was incredible, the best ever. But then when we got hit with the gift from China, the China virus, that came and we did a fantastic job.”
Trump went on to highlight the achievements of his initial term in office, and then remarked, “We’re heading into World War III in my opinion with this man semi-running things. ‘Cause he’s not running things, the people that surround the Oval Office, the people that surround the Resolute desk, the beautiful Resolute desk, they’re really running things in Washington I suspect, and it’s very bad.”
“What do you make all of the talk that if Biden steps aside or is pushed out, that it would be Vice President Harris?” questioned Hannity. “Do you expect that much would change?”
Trump responded, “Well, I believe it will be her. They seem extremely worried about the outcome if it’s not her. They’re very cautious, almost afraid, to take any other route. I’ve actually come to think that’s exactly what they’ll end up doing.”
He concluded, “I think she’s an ineffective person, she was in charge of the border, she’s never been there, she didn’t do a good job, and she hasn’t done a job on a lot of other things, but it would seem to me from a political standpoint that’s who they’re going with. They’re not even talking about alternatives.”
