Former Biden campaign advisor Cristóbal Alex pushed back against claims that the president’s age should be an issue for the 2024 election, claiming Biden runs circles around his staff.
Alex appeared on a panel for MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” Tuesday to discuss the announcement video for Biden’s re-election campaign released early that morning. Though the panel was largely optimistic about the announcement, host Joy Reid pointed out recent polling that suggests apprehension regarding the octogenarian.
“There is polling that shows people are really uncomfortable with Biden’s age,” Reid said. “According to NBC poll, 70% of Americans, including 51% of Democrats, believe Biden shouldn’t run for president, and age, for 48%, is a major reason. And the people out there who seem to be the most motivated are the youngest voters. Gen Z and Millennials. Is that an issue for Biden?”
“No, it’s not,” Alex replied.
