White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was visibly flabbergasted by a line of questioning from CNN that interrogated whether US PresidentJoe Biden had the “stamina” to run for re-election in 2024.
CNN’s Don Lemon put the pointed question to the White House press secretary on his prime time Monday broadcast about the commander-in-chief’s “physical” and “mental” vigour, a topic that has been given new life since a recent New York Times report quoted top-ranking Democrats who have begun to call the 79-year-old president’s age a “major issue”.
