President Biden said in a new interview there is evidence China is meddling in the upcoming U.S. election, quipping that “all the bad guys” are rooting for former President Trump in November’s race.<\/p>\n
“There is evidence that meddling is going on,” Biden told Time magazine in an interview<\/a> published Tuesday, declining to go into greater detail.<\/p>\n When a reporter interjected to say it sounded as if China was meddling, Biden said China “would have an interest in meddling.”<\/p>\n “Everybody, all the bad guys are rooting for Trump, man. Not a joke,” he added.<\/p>\n Biden earlier in the interview, conducted May 28, recounted how foreign leaders frequently tell him it’s important for him to win reelection to protect democracy in the U.S. and abroad.<\/p>\n The president’s comments come after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in April<\/a>, following a three-day trip to China, that there were signs Beijing was attempting to influence and potentially interfere in the upcoming U.S. election.<\/p>\n CNN reported<\/a> that Biden warned Chinese President Xi Jinping during a November meeting in San Francisco not to interfere<\/a> in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
