On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., dismissed concerns over President Biden’s age ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
The former 2020 presidential candidate made clear to host Chuck Todd that, while Biden’s age is an issue, there are “broader” issues to consider when voting for a president.
“One way that you make it clear that age isn’t a factor with you is you’re pretty energetic, and we see you travel the country, and you show up and do interviews. It is clearly an issue for many voters when it comes to President Biden. He’s a year younger than you. Do you have advice to him on how he should assuage those concerns in the public about his age?” Todd asked.
“Look, when people look at a candidate whether it’s Joe Biden or Trump or Bernie Sanders, anybody else, they have to evaluate a whole lot of factors. I met with the president — I don’t know, five or six weeks ago. We had a great discussion. He seemed fine to me,” Sanders said.
