Former President Trump said it seems like President Biden will stay in the 2024 race despite calls from some members of his own party to step down in the wake of his disastrous debate performance late last month. 

Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday that Biden has an "ego" and he "doesn’t want to quit."

"It looks to me like he may very well stay, and he's got an ego, and he doesn't want to quit. He doesn't want to do that. It just looks to me like that's what he wants," Trump said.

TRUMP CHALLENGES BIDEN TO SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE- BUT THERE'S A CATCH

Biden told House Democrats in a letter Monday that he’s staying in the race and is committed to beating Trump in November. 

BIDEN REMAINS DEFIANT AS PRESSURE MOUNTS TO WITHDRAW FROM PRESIDENTIAL RACE

"We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin," Biden’s letter read in part.

"I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn't be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024."

Trump said if Biden is forced out or steps down, he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will fill his shoes. 

"I think she's an ineffective person. She was in charge of the border, she's never been there, she didn't do a good job, and she hasn't done a job on a lot of things," he told Hannity.

"It would seem to me that from a political standpoint, that's who they're going with. They're not even talking about alternatives."

The former president added that Biden has a lot of power due to the number of delegates he’s received thus far, so the only way Democrats can get him out of the race is by using the 25th Amendment.

"I think unless they use the 25th amendment, which they'd use in a different sense, he has all the power. He has the delegates. He doesn't have to get out. There's nothing they can do to get him out," Trump said. "So, he'll get the nomination."

House Democrats held a virtual meeting over the weekend to discuss the future of Biden's re-election campaign in the wake of his highly-criticized performance at the CNN Presidential Debate.

Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reported that multiple ranking Democrats on House committees expressed their desire for Biden to step aside during a virtual meeting convened by Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. 

"I made clear publicly the day after the debate that I support President Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket," Jeffries said. "My position has not changed."

Biden and Trump are poised to square off for another debate in September..

Fox News host Sean Hannity says the media and Democrats are "pointing fingers and blaming" over President Biden's cognitive state, despite being "complicit" in the "cover-up." 

BIDEN CALLS INTO 'MORNING JOE,' REMAINS DEFIANT ABOUT STAYING IN THE RACE: 'I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE'

SEAN HANNITY: The charade, the cover-up, the corruption, the lying is now officially over. They're pointing fingers, and they're blaming and acting as if they were not complicit, which is a joke. And now it is America's time for choosing. Now, this isn't a choice between Trump and Biden. Instead, you will decide and need to decide whether we have a constitutional republic for the people, by the people. Or will a cabal of Biden enablers and liars and state-run media lying and covering up and far-left unelected deep state bureaucrats, continue to run this country into the ground with Biden or some other Democrat as their front person? Make no mistake, Joe Biden is not in charge at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He's not calling the shots. He's not making the decisions. In fact, Joe has been a cognitive wreck from before he was even sworn in, which is something we have been reporting and been criticized on for more than four years before the 2020 election.

In spite of the feigned outrage and shock and horror at the debate, everyone that works in the state-run media mob, as I call them, knows beyond any doubt that Joe Biden is mentally impaired. For three years, he barely did any press conferences or other unscripted events. He did very few sit-down interviews. They were few and far between. He struggled to walk with an unusual shuffle, barely getting his feet off the ground. We saw him fall over and over and over again. Then the big boy steps up to Air Force One. They were soon replaced with the little boy staircase. Also, Joe took almost every weekend off and when he was at the White House, his calendar featured barely one public event, on average, per day. Those events were always very short, tightly controlled, and still Joe struggled. The majority of Americans, as much as 70%, have long believed that Biden is not fit to serve. It has been obvious Joe was never up to the job, but the media mob did their best to cover this up and lie for him for years. They even tried to gaslight any American into thinking very real videos showing Biden's struggles were cheap fake videos. Again, those very real videos were unedited and this is only a couple of weeks ago.
