Vice President Joe Biden is hoping Donald Trump does not become the next president, but he acknowledged it's a possibility.

"Yes, I think it's possible,'' Biden told Savannah Guthrie during TODAY's live broadcast from the White House on Tuesday when asked whether he could imagine Trump taking the Oval Office.

"I hope that if that were to occur — I hope it doesn't because I have fundamentally different views than he does — I'd hope that he gets a lot more serious about the issues, a lot more serious about gaining knowledge about this this nation functions and foreign policy and domestic policy, but look, that's a long way off."
