Former President Trump on Monday predicted that President Biden will resist calls from Democrats to drop out of the race, saying the commander-in-chief has "got an ego."

"Well, they cover for [Biden] and they still are sort of covering, but now it's getting very difficult to do that," Trump said during an exclusive interview on Fox News' "Hannity," referring to Democrats and the media. "And you know, it looks to me like he may very well stay and he's got an ego and doesn't want to quit. He doesn't want to do that."

Calls for Biden to drop out of the presidential race have grown louder over the past week, following his disastrous debate performance against Trump late last month.

Trump further predicted that if Biden were to drop out, Vice President Kamala Harris would be the Democrats' heir.

"Well, I think that it will be her. I think they are very concerned about the vote," Trump said. "If it's not her, they are very ... gun shy. They don't want to do it any other way. I think I've actually come to believe that's what they're going to do."
