US President Joe Biden said he might skip running for re-election if he hadn't faced Donald Trump, adding that the Republican poses a unique threat to the country.
"If Trump hadn't run, I'm not sure I would have run," Biden said at a 2024 campaign fundraising event. "We cannot let him win."
Biden's remarks come as even staunch Democratic voters have expressed concerns about the president's age. He turned 81 last month, Reuters reports.
During his 2020 presidential campaign, Biden often cited that his decision to run was partly due to how then-President Trump handled issues, including the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Now, Biden's campaign is again positioning Trump as a danger to democracy itself. Recent polls have shown the Republican frontrunner leading Biden in hypothetical matchups in key swing states and nationally.
"I don't think anyone doubts that our democracy is once again in peril," Biden said earlier.
