The speech by Hillary Clinton, who ran for the Democratic Party in the 2016 presidential election and lost to Republican nominee Donald Trump, comes amid lingering doubts over Biden’s ability to continue in office. aging.
Clinton said the age of Biden, who is currently 80, is an issue in the 2024 election.
At a conference held in Washington, DC, Hillary was asked about Biden’s stumble during the G7 summit in Japan.
His response was, “His (Biden’s) age is an issue, and people have every right to be concerned about it,” considering the US president’s age is a concern for everyone.
She added, “We’ve had presidents fall (to the ground) before and they were a lot younger (than Biden), but people didn’t care.”
However, she hoped the US President would remain highly focused and competitive in the election as she believed he could be re-elected.
Clinton’s statements stand in stark contrast to his colleagues in the Democratic Party leadership, who dismissed concerns about the age of Biden, who belongs to the party.
And Biden announced on April 25 that he would run in the next presidential election.
This came despite an opinion poll showing that 70% of Americans and about half of Democrats do not want Biden to run for president again.
And a poll by the Associated Press showed that Biden’s age is a major factor in pushing Republican Party bases toward that belief.
