Former President Joe Biden revealed on Thursday he still believed he could have beaten President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
The former president went on "The View" where he was asked by co-host Alyssa Farah about whether he believed he could have won, where Harris failed.
'Yeah, he still got seven million fewer votes, ok? A lot of people didn't show up,' he said.

Biden said the swing states were still 'very close' and that Trump's victories in those states were not a 'slam dunk.'
He said he was not surprised that Harris lost, even though he stressed he believed she was fully qualified eto be president
'I wasn't surprised because they went the route of the sexist route ... I've never seen quite as successful and consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country and a woman of mixed race.'
He defied the argument made by Democrats that Biden waited too long to exit the race and endorse Harris.
'There were six full months,' he shot back, arguing his presidency was 'successful' despite their struggles in the polls.

Biden said that Harris was fully engaged and 'internal' to his administration.
'She was in every aspect, every decision I made, every decision we made,' he said.
The former president said he did not 'advise' Harris against the idea of distancing herself from their successes.
'I just think it was a very tough year across the board,' Biden said.
