The former president said that he’s confident that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will take office, despite President Trump still refusing to concede the race.

He insisted that there’s “no legal basis” to Trump’s allegations of election fraud — to which King pointed out that the president is “getting support from members of the Republican Party, who are not challenging him.”

“And that has been disappointing. But it’s been sort of par for the course during these four years,” Obama said.

“They obviously didn’t think there was any fraud going on, ’cause they didn’t say anything for the first two days.”

“I think it’s fair to say that there are many things he says that I do not take personally or seriously, although I think they can often be destructive and harmful,” he said.
