Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very … there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There’ll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. “

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden reacted to Trump’s remarks later Wednesday night.
Said Biden: “What country are we in? I’m being facetious — I said what country are we in? Look, he says the most irrational things. I don’t know to say about it. But it doesn’t surprise me.”
