Joe Biden is ā€œabsolutely convincedā€ that the military would remove President Trump from the White House if he refuses to leave the premises after losing Novemberā€™s election. The former vice president warned in an interview on The Daily Show Wednesday night: ā€œThis president is going to try to steal this election.ā€ The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he was particularly concerned that Trump would try to rig the voting process in his favor, saying: ā€œItā€™s my greatest concern. My single greatest concern.ā€ Asked whether heā€™s thought about what would happen if he wins but Trump decides not to leave the White House, Biden responded: ā€œYes I have.ā€ After mentioning the high-ranking former military officers who spoke out about Trumpā€™s response to the protests last week, he went on: ā€œI promise you, Iā€™m absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch.ā€
