By The FirstIn an interview that aired Sunday morning with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart, President Biden addressed questions about his age and fitness for office; Joe says the concern is “legitimate.”
Capehart asked what he would say to convince voters to stick with him if he were to run again in 2024.
“I think it’s a legitimate thing to be concerned about anyone’s age, including mine. I think that’s totally legitimate,” Biden said. “I think the best way to make a judgment is to, to, you know, watch me, you know, am I slowing up? Am I, don’t have the same pace?”
“You know, I, could be, I’m a great respecter of fate,” Biden continued. “I could get a disease tomorrow, I could, you know, drop dead tomorrow. But I, you know, in terms of my energy level, in terms of how much I’m able to do, I think people should look and say, ‘is he, is he still have the same passion for what he’s doing? And if they think I do, and I can do it, then that’s fine.”
