‘He’s got an ego’: Trump says he expects Biden to stay in presidential race

Republican contender says Biden doesn’t want to quit and Democrats have few options to force him to step aside.
Donald Trump has said he does not expect Joe Biden to end his bid to be re-elected president of the United States, suggesting he will stay in the race because of his ego.
In a telephone interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, the Republican candidate said that Biden “might very well stay in” the race despite mounting pressure to drop out due to concerns over his physical and mental fitness.
“He’s got an ego and he doesn’t want to quit,” Trump said. “He doesn’t want to do that. It just looks to me like that’s what he wants.”
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, said that the Democratic Party could do little to force Biden out of the race, apart from invoking a constitutional provision that enables the vice president and cabinet members to declare that the president is unable to discharge his duties.
“He has all the power, he has the delegates,” Trump said. “He doesn’t have to get out.”
