Washington, January 13 (RHC)-- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden has said it is "possible" Donald Trump could become president, but added that the business mogul has to get "a lot more serious" about how America functions.

In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, the U.S. official was asked if he saw Trump winning the November election. While he said it was a possiblity, he said he hoped it doesn't happen. Biden said that Trump, the Republican front-runner, is very “divisive” and that level of divisiveness is “not healthy” for America.

During its broadcast from the White House, NBC also asked President Barack Obama about Donald Trump's candidacy. Obama said he did not believe Trump would ever make it to the White House because most American voters do not want "simplistic solutions" and "scapegoats."

A Fox News poll released on Thursday showed that 35 percent of the Republican primary voters support the real estate mogul’s presidential campaign, 15 points ahead of his closest rival Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
