Khaleej Times|January 07, 2025
US President Joe Biden said on Sunday he thought it was awful that President-elect Donald Trump was trying to do away with birthright citizenship in the United States.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden said the transition to Trump's government seemed to be going smoothly, though he said he thought there was a problem with Trump's team internally related to the handover.

Asked ahead of the anniversary of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol whether he still thought Trump was a threat to democracy, Biden said he thought what Trump did was a "genuine threat to democracy".
