“I’m one of those people, or competitors, that doesn’t end until the bell rings. And I’m superstitious when I predict anything other than a tough fight,” Biden said in an interview aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes. ” “On Sunday when asked if Trump can still beat them.” We feel good about where we are. But, you know how I play it, I don’t underestimate it. “
Biden said Trump is “trying to represent the election,” and those efforts are “designed to make people wonder whether they should vote, or not, just a threatening factor.”
Trump has long sought to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the mail-in ballot, often making false claims about how they are cast and considered.
“The things that really make me happy are the early voting in the states that have the heaviest turnout,” Biden said.
“I hope there will be a lot of people who vote for me because of who I am,” Biden said. “But I think the contradiction between Donald Trump and me is just as contradictory as it can be found in terms of our value set and how we see the world.”
In the interview, Biden also defended several policy proposals that Trump and Republicans tried to call him too liberal.
Biden said those who earn more than ,000 400,000 a year and corporations should see an increase in their income tax. But he said he would not “give one more penny under my proposal” to anyone earning less than my 400,000.
“It’s a guarantee, a promise,” he said. “I give you my word as Biden. That is the absolute guarantee.”
“Depending on who you raise,” he said. “Look, if you raise them on someone who earns 1 billion a year, it’s no problem that they pay 39.6%, which everyone should pay, collect another 90 90 billion.”
CBS interviewer Norah O’Donnell called on Trump and G.O.P. to portray Nellie Biden as a tool for more progressive groups in her party. Asked about the efforts of, in which Baden was drawn to the primary rivals of the Democratic president, whom Biden defeated, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, as well as the New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“They’d like to run against them, wouldn’t they?” Said Biden. “Mr. President, you are running against Biden. Biden has a long, steep and successful record.”
