On tonight’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Trump talks about his court date, Biden’s hopes of getting re-elected, and other things.
During a long talk with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, former president Donald Trump said that he has doubts about Joe Biden running for re-election.
Tucker Carlson of Fox News was Trump’s first interview after he was arrested in New York City last week. The interview will air on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday. There were many things talked about, like his arrest and Biden’s interest in running for office again.
Biden has made hints in the past that he might run for office again, but he hasn’t said so officially. But on Monday, Biden told NBC weatherman Al Roker, “I plan to run, but we’re not ready to say that yet.”
In an interview for his show, Tucker Carlson asked Trump if he thought Vice President Joe Biden would run for re-election. Trump replied that it wasn’t clear if the president could run another campaign because Biden couldn’t give Roker any answers that made sense in his weak interview.
“You see, I watch him just like you do. “I don’t see how it’s even possible,” Trump said, adding that he thought it was almost wrong to say that.
But there is something wrong. I saw his answer on TV when a wonderful man named Al Roker asked him if he was going to run for office.
Trump said that the old “Today” weatherman couldn’t have asked Biden any easier questions.
After Biden’s long answer about the eggs and this and that, he said, “Look, I don’t think he can.”
Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman, James Polk, Rutherford Hayes, and James Buchanan, a Pennsylvania Democrat whose controversial presidency helped make Abraham Lincoln the first Republican president in 1860, are among the few presidents who have officially turned down re-election bids.
If he was re-elected in 2025, when he would be 82 years old, he would be the oldest president ever to take office.
At his inauguration in 2017, when he was 70 years old, Trump was older than both Ronald Reagan, who was 69 at the time, and William Henry Harrison, who was 68 at the time.
When asked about his hearing last week, Trump said that some workers and police officers at the courts in lower Manhattan were clearly upset to see him in jail on felony business record fraud charges.
He said, “Those people were great.” People who work there and put in killers all the time and see everyone were crying when they signed me in at the courthouse, which is also a jail, he said.
They were crying, and it’s a terrible place to live. In fact, some of them cried. “I’m sorry,” was all they could say.
Alvin Bragg, a Democratic lawyer, sued House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Tuesday for trying to oversee the arrest and for trying to talk to Mark Pomerantz, who used to work with Bragg.
