President Joe Biden gave a slightly different explanation for why he left the presidential race during an appearance on ABC’s The View, saying that “so much success” led to a delay in his plans.

“When I ran this last time, I said that I saw myself as a transition president to a new generation of leadership,” Biden said. “What happened was, we were having so much success in getting things done that people thought we couldn’t get done, I found myself having to use more time than I would have ordinarily to pass that torch.”
