New video footage obtained by The Daily Beast shows former President Donald Trump at a golf outing, boasting that he forced President Joe Biden out of the race and speculating that he'll have to run against Vice President Kamala Harris.

“He just quit, you know — he’s quitting the race,” Trump can be heard saying in the video.

“I got him out of the — and that means we have Kamala.” He went on to call Biden a "broken-down pile of crap" and said of Harris, “I think she’s gonna be better” as an opponent, but even so “she’s so bad. She’s so pathetic.”

Biden, whose faltering debate performance against Trump last week triggered a firestorm of scrutiny from both the media and Democratic surrogates, has not signaled any intention to drop out of the election, although some reports suggest he is privately assessing whether it will be necessary depending on the outcome of his upcoming public events and interviews.

A small number of current and former Democratic officials have suggested the president should step aside, although for the time being, the party is overwhelmingly still committed to his candidacy.

If Biden were to drop out, Harris would be the default option to replace him, as she is already on the ticket and would be able to take advantage of the Biden campaign's war chest, whereas any other candidate would have to start from zero.
