Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her support for President Biden and downplayed concerns about his age during an interview on MSNBC. When asked about concerns over Biden’s age, Clinton acknowledged the question’s legitimacy but argued that people were “off base” in their conclusions. She praised the Biden administration’s accomplishments and highlighted its efforts to address infrastructure and transition to clean energy. Clinton also mentioned that she considered the alternative to Biden when evaluating his candidacy, emphasizing that he has a good record of achievements.
This statement from Clinton comes after she previously acknowledged that Biden’s age could be an issue but also emphasized the importance of considering the alternative. Some members of the media have raised concerns about whether Biden and Vice President Harris should run for re-election in light of various factors, including low approval ratings.
