“That's not what you need in your life," he said.
The race for the White House is heading into the final stretch with most polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump neck-and-neck in key states with less than two weeks to go.
As of Friday morning, more than 31 million Americans cast an absentee ballot or voted early in person, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Roughly 13.7 million people voted early in person, the lab reported, and more than 17.7 million returned their ballot by mail.

Election officials are increasingly confronting billionaire X owner Elon Musk on his own platform over election disinformation, but their reach typically pales in comparison to Musk's 200 million followers.
"It's just not a fair battle," said Larry Norden, a voting expert at the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonprofit think tank.
Henrico County registrar Mark Coakley, for example, received fewer than 100,000 views for a thread debunking a 2023 claim shared by Musk falsely alleging that "election integrity leaders in Virginia" found fraudulent votes in the county from the 2020 election.
The original post shared by Musk -- a vocal supporter of and donor to former President Donald Trump -- received 27.7 million views.
In Philadelphia, Musk reposted a tweet suggesting that 5,200 voters had registered with the same address. "This is crazy," Musk commented.
Seth Bluestein, a Philadelphia County Commissioner, replied hours later, tweeting, "The post you shared is spreading disinformation." But Bluestein's response garnered fewer than 10,000 compared with the nearly 10 million views for Musk's initial tweet.

Elon Musk's super PAC -- which had promised to give out a $1 million prize every day to a random swing state voter who signed its petition -- has yet to announce its fifth winner amid the Justice Department's questioning of the legality of the offer.
America PAC announced on Tuesday night its fourth recipient of a $1 million prize -- Andy Steinle of Holly Spring, North Carolina. The first three recipients were all Pennsylvania voters.
No winner was announced by the America PAC's website or social media pages on Wednesday.
A source familiar with the matter told ABC News Wednesday that the Justice Department had sent a letter to the America PAC warning that Musk's giveaway may violate federal law.
