During an interview on NBC’s “Today” show, the president said he’s worried that the Republican nominee has a chance at the White House.

“My advice to Democrats — and I don’t have to give this advice to Hillary Clinton, because she already knows it — is you stay worried until all those those votes are cast and counted because you know, one of the dangers in an election like this is that people don’t take the challenge seriously,” Obama said. “They stay home. And we end up getting the unexpected.”

“What I think is scary is a president who doesn’t know their stuff and doesn’t seem to have an interest in learning what they don’t know,” Obama said.

“I think if you listen to any press conference he’s given, or listen to any of those debates, basic knowledge —about the world or what a nuclear triad is or where various countries are or, you know, the difference between Sunni and Shia in the Muslim world — those are things that he doesn’t know and hasn’t seemed to spend a lot of time trying to find out about.”

During an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden said Trump “knows nothing about foreign policy, nor should he, based upon his background.”

“But the thing that bothers me is, I don’t see any attempt for him to go out and to get people who really know on the Republican side to advise him,” Biden said.

Tim Kaine implied that Trump doesn’t care about veterans.

“Is it too much to ask to have the first woman president rather than someone who offends women every time he opens his mouth?” Kaine said. “Who’s funding veterans’ programs? Who’s funding veterans’ services? Folks like you and me, but Donald Trump’s too big to have to fund veterans, too big to have to fund our military… too big to have to fund the things that make us a great nation.”

“I guess that’s just for suckers to have to pay for the society we have.”
