Trump reveals warning of Iran assassination threats as new poll released: Live

Biden was asked about the possibility of all-out war in the Middle East as the Israel-Gaza conflict continues and spreads to the northern border with Lebanon.

He says: “An all-out war is possible. But I think there’s also the opportunity, or still in play, to have a settlement that could fundamentally change the whole region. And I look one of the things that I found is there’s the Arab world very much wants to have a settlement because they know what it does for them.”

He says that while he is a supporter of Israel, he disagrees with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I don’t agree with his position. There needs to be a two-state solution.”

“Ultimately, it needs to happen. There’s a way to do it, and they have a possibility, I don’t 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, that we also have to deal with and so, but it’s possible, and I’m using every bit of energy I have with my team, and you Know, from the Defense Department, you know, well, to get this done, there’s a desire to see change, I mean, in the region, and peace.”

On The View, Biden is asked about Donald Trump’s allegation that his rhetoric is responsible for assassination attempts, despite his own history of inciting violence.

“There’s not a lot of socially redeeming value there,” says Biden of his predecessor. “He does not believe in democracy.”

Asked if he felt his hand was forced by people in the party — specifically Nancy Pelosi — Biden says: “I never fully believed the assertions that somehow there was this overwhelming reluctance of my running again.”

He adds: “My polling was about, always within range of beating this guy.”

“I was confident I would beat Trump. He’s a loser.”

In his appearance on The View, Joe Biden is first asked what the past two months have felt like since he passed the torch to Kamala Harris.

He tells the panel that he is at peace with his decision to hand over the reins and praises the vice president.

“I meant when I said, it was the greatest honor in the world, sitting behind the resolute desk as president of the United States and I loved it. Sounds corny, but I love my country more.”

President Joe Biden is soon to appear on ABC’s The View, but before he sits down, the full panel of co-hosts discuss the topics of the day, beginning with reproductive rights in this election — specifically, Kamala Harris’s comments on bypassing the filibuster to enshrine those rights, as Eric Garcia discusses here:

And Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno’s inflammatory comments about women over 50 that raised the ire of former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, as reported by Ariana Baio:

Leading mental health experts, including a former White House doctor, have expressed alarm over Donald Trump’s mental faculties, suggesting he’s showing signs of “cognitive decline.”

Several experts told The Independent their concerns about the Republican presidential nominee are similar to those they had about President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race, warning Trump appears to “have lost touch with reality,” as exhibited by the 78-year-old’s “rambling” speeches and “erratic” debate performance.

In a new post on X, Kamala Harris has vowed her top priority if elected is to “bring down the costs for working families.”

She is expected to outline in more detail her plans for the economy today.

Kamala Harris will be interviewed tonight by Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC.

The vice president will give a one-on-one sit-down interview at 7pm ET.
