Biden Addresses Concerns About Age And Fitness In Interview

Joe Biden coming out of plane

In a recent interview, President Joe Biden addressed concerns about his age and physical fitness in comparison to his rival, Donald Trump. Biden acknowledged that questions about his age, being 81 years old, are legitimate but emphasized that he believes he is in better physical shape than Trump.

Biden stated, 'I’m only three years older than Trump, okay? And I think I’m in a little better physical shape than he is.' He further expressed that as long as he can demonstrate his ability to compete effectively and lead the world, concerns about his age should be set aside.

When asked about the possibility of being a transitional candidate and evaluating his health and capabilities on a yearly basis if he wins a second term, Biden indicated that he would be open to such an approach as a practical matter.

Regarding Trump's vice president pick, JD Vance, Biden praised him as a hardworking senator but characterized him as a 'really, really conservative MAGA Republican.'

Overall, Biden's comments in the interview aimed to address concerns about his age and fitness while emphasizing his commitment to demonstrating his ability to lead effectively and compete in the political arena.
