In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton brushed off concerns about President Joe Biden‘s age, advising Democrats to acknowledge the reality without reservation.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s Mornings with Zerlina, hosted by Zerlina Maxwell, Clinton acknowledged the cultural emphasis on youth but emphasized Biden’s formidable record of accomplishments.
She noted that while some may express apprehension about Biden’s age, it’s crucial to recognize his extensive experience and achievements.
Clinton highlighted a specific instance where someone mentioned Biden’s age to her, to which she responded candidly, affirming that Biden is indeed older. She juxtaposed this with remarks about Donald Trump‘s public demeanor, criticizing his erratic behavior and apparent memory lapses.
Clinton argued that if concerns about cognitive ability arise, Trump’s conduct should raise more alarms than Biden’s age.
Referring to a recent poll by The New York Times and Siena College, which indicated that a majority of Biden’s 2020 voters consider him too old for office, Clinton reiterated her stance.
She took to X (formerly Twitter) to express that when individuals reach their seventies or eighties, the age difference of a few years becomes inconsequential. Clinton emphasized that both Biden and Trump, despite their age disparity, should be evaluated on their merits rather than their chronological age.
Clinton’s remarks on Wednesday underscored her belief that Biden’s age should not be a decisive factor in assessing his ability to lead. She emphasized Biden’s effectiveness as a president, positioning him as one of the most impactful leaders of their generation.
Ultimately, Clinton’s message aimed to shift the focus from Biden’s age to his capabilities and accomplishments, urging voters to prioritize substance over age-related concerns.
