Whoopi Goldberg delivers six-word verdict on Joe Biden as he reveals to The View whether he’s been forced to withdraw from the race

President Joe Biden revealed the advice he gave Kamala Harris on defeating Donald Trump and discussed the state of his relationship with Nancy Pelosi during an appearance on ABC’s The View on Wednesday.

He also criticized Trump for having no social value and indicated that he would like to squash him like an insect.

The President was greeted like a true rock star by the presenters, who welcomed him with open arms, and by the audience, who gave him a standing ovation.

“It’s like having one of the Beatles at your table,” Sara Haines enthused.

Whoopi Goldberg praised the president repeatedly during his 30-minute appearance on the show.

“You were my ride or die,” she said. “Thank you for everything you’ve done in my life.”

“He’s a kisser,” Joy Behar said. “That’s what I like about him.”

As Biden walked onto the stage amid sustained applause, Behar said of the audience, “They love you.”

“It’s always better when you leave,” Biden replied.

Despite all the fawning, Biden did openly comment on the hosts, talking about his decision to withdraw from the race and being direct about his assessment of Trump.

“I’m at peace with my decision,” Biden said of his withdrawal from the presidential race.

However, he also had harsh words for Trump, issuing some of his harshest criticisms yet of the Republican presidential nominee.

“There’s not a lot of social redeeming value,” Biden said of the former president. “He really doesn’t believe — doesn’t believe — in democracy.”

“I’m not sure he realizes what he’s doing,” he added.

Host Whoopi Goldberg described Trump as “like a bug, like a bug buzzing around.” As she spoke, she waved her hand around her head as if waving away an insect.

Biden clapped his hands as if he were squashing the insect.

The audience laughed.

Goldberg repeatedly praised Biden during his live appearance on the show.

“You were my ride or die,” she said. “Thank you for everything you’ve done in my life.”

The president repeated his argument that he could have beaten Trump but decided he “loved his country more,” an argument he used repeatedly as he described his decision to resign after his party pressured him to drop out of the race.

“I never really bought the claims that there was somehow an overwhelming reluctance to run again. I didn’t feel that,” he said. “We were always within reach of beating this guy.”

“I was confident. I would beat Trump,” he said.

But Democrats, led by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, believed Biden would lose and drag the party down with him after his disastrous debate with Trump. Party leaders pressured him to step aside.

Biden laughed when The View hosts asked him about Pelosi.

“Our relationship is fine,” he said.

And then he changed the subject.

Biden, who defeated Trump in the 2020 election, revealed the advice he gave Harris, describing her as a partner in his administration.

“Be yourself. She’s smart as hell, number one. She’s tough,” he said.

“As vice president, there wasn’t a single thing I did that she couldn’t do. I was able to delegate to her responsibility for everything from foreign policy to domestic policy,” he noted.

He was very complimentary about his vice president.

“I think she has the energy, the intelligence, the courage and the stamina and she has the courage to do the right thing,” he said of Harris.

Biden, 81, also seemed incredulous at how old he was.

“It’s hard for me to say how old I am. It really is. I give my word. It’s like holy god that can’t be right.”
