Presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden said he is “very concerned” with foreign interference in the 2020 election calling President Trump an “idiot” for soliciting it, during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” host Norah O’Donnell.

“The Russians don’t want me to be president and Trump doesn’t want me to be the nominee,” said Biden. “Everybody knows what’s going on. Trump not only doesn’t want to do anything about it he’s going out and asking for help.”

President Trump has long-insisted that the suggestion is a “hoax,” but Biden isn’t convinced. “He’s an idiot in terms of saying that. Everybody knows this. Everybody knows it. Nobody doubts it,” Biden asserted.

Biden appeared optimistic that he will be the Democratic nominee in the 2020 race. Some polls however, show Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren in the lead.
