Biden also made an address on Friday from the Roosevelt Room, as he said that his decision to drop out of the presidential race over the summer did not probably help Trump win the election.
In the run-up to the presidential elections, Biden stepped aside as Vice President Kamala Harris replaced her to become the Democratic candidate against the Republican's pick, Donald Trump.
Biden went through enormous pressure following a disastrous debate performance against Trump, which prompted Kamala's selection as the presidential candidate.
Biden speaks on opting out of presidential race
On being asked whether he regrets his decision to not run for reelection, Biden in his Friday address said, "I think I would have beaten Trump, and I think that Kamala could have — would have beaten Trump."
“I thought it was important to unify the party. Even though I thought I could win again, I thought it was better to unify the party," he added.
Biden asserted that he did not intend to cause a divided party to lose an election, adding, "That's why I stepped aside. But I was confident she could win."
Moreover, Harris lost the election to Trump as the general elections resulted in a clean sweep for the Republican Party, which, along with winning a majority in the House of Representatives, also won the majority in the Senate.
