SAVIDGE: Vice President Joe Biden, Vice President Joe Biden in case my mic was clipped, is opening up about the presidential election and what he thinks about Republican nominee Donald Trump in an interview with "Yahoo News", Biden explains the impact of Trump's praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.</s>V.P. JOE BIDEN, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Well, there's nothing wrong in having a candid, direct relationship where, you know, where, you know, you agree and, you know, where you don't agree and you decide, can you work in this area and you can't work here. But what is wrong is praising the guy because he's popular, not knowing that he's already invaded Ukraine and taken a big chunk of Ukraine called Crimea. As, you know, Katie I travel a lot around the world, over 1,100,000 miles so far for the president. When I go, the president sends me because everybody knows I speak for him and there's nothing lost between the cup and the lip. I spend more time, Katie, reassuring heads of state, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Trump doesn't speak for the United States or the Republican Party on whether or not he'll honor a NATO commitment in the Baltic States when he said, "Well, I'm not sure," he'd check and see if they paid their dues. He doesn't understand his words. The words of a major party candidate have consequences.</s>SAVIDGE: Biden was also asked about recent poll numbers showing Trump closing the gap with Clinton.
