MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday that every Democrat he speaks to off-camera admits they have serious concerns about President Joe Biden’s age ahead of the 2024 election.
Biden already belongs to America oldest serving president. He turned 80 last November. If he were to win the 2024 election and serve a full second term, he would be 86 when he leaves the White House.
“People say, ‘Man, he’s too old to walk, isn’t he? I mean, he won’t. He’s not really going to run,'” Scarborough said. “When I say every discussion, I don’t mean 99% of the discussion. Any discussion.”
Republicans are often criticized for “saying something different about Donald Trump outside of the show,” Scarborough noted. “Well, let me just say: The Democrats are going to say off camera, ‘Joe Biden is too old.’ Why is he running?’ In the air? They won’t say that.”
However, Scarborough acknowledged that he doesn’t see “many Democrats out there” who could do a better job than Biden and beat Trump.
“I don’t see many Democrats out there. I don’t see any Democrats out there right now who could do that,” he said.
