WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Former POTUS Barack Obama expressed confidence that Democrat Joe Biden will be the next US president, adding that no one can be above the law.

"Well, look, Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States; Kamala Harris will be the next vice president [...] It's a temporary job. We're not above the rules. We're not above the law. That's the essence of our democracy," Obama said as aired by CBS broadcaster.

Obama also believes that Biden does not need his advice.

"He doesn't need my advice. And I will help him in any ways that I can. But now, you know, I'm not planning to suddenly work on the White House staff or something [...] There are probably some things I would not be doing, 'cause Michelle would leave me," he added.
