A video leaked by The Daily Beast on Wednesday shows Donald Trump calling Joe Biden "a broken-down pile of crap" claiming he is close to "quitting the race."

The 78-year-old former president is seen in the video riding in a golf cart with his son Barron by his side and clutching a large sum of money while providing his take on the 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump talks to someone off-camera,"How did I do with the debate the other night?" and then says that Biden "He just quit, you know – he’s quitting the race... I got him out of the – and that means we have Kamala."

He believes "she’s [Kamala Harris] gonna be better" but added, "She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic."

Biden's resignation has not been confirmed by his campaign. "Absolutely not," stated Karine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary for the White House, on Wednesday.

The Biden-Harris campaign responded to the incident by saying, "The American people have already seen low after low from Donald Trump," calling the leak a "new rock bottom" for him.

In the same video, Trump belittled Biden's capacity to handle opponents abroad, such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Can you imagine that guy dealing with Putin?" Trump expressed. "And the president of China – who’s a fierce person. He’s a fierce man, very tough guy. And they see him."

'Candid' but concerning

This comes a day after almost 20 Democratic governors spoke out to support Biden amid increasing pressure to have him withdraw from the presidential race.

After a lackluster debate performance, Biden met behind closed doors in Washington with the governors, including Tim Walz of Minnesota, Wes Moore of Maryland, Gavin Newsom of California, and Kathy Hochul of New York, to persuade the Democrats and the public that he is capable of leading the country.

Following the meeting, the governors told reporters that the discussion was "candid" but that they had concerns about Biden's performance in last week's debate. 

The meeting brought an end to a rough day for Biden, during which he faced criticism from both a major Democratic donor and members of his party on his suitability for the presidency. In addition to a third Congressman expressing "grave concerns" about Biden's chances, two Democratic members have called on Biden to withdraw already. Meanwhile, the White House shut down attempts to answer questions about his mental fitness. 

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday tried to play the debate's results off by saying it was "a bad night" but added that Biden "knows how to come back" from it as she brushed off questions by reporters about him needing a cognitive test.
