Biden Acknowledges Concerns About His Age, Urges Critics to Stop Speculating
Joe Biden addressed concerns about his age, stating he is not blind to them but urging critics to end speculation about his future in the US presidential race.
In a letter to Democrats in Congress, President Biden affirmed his commitment to his re-election campaign and declared his determination to continue competing against Donald Trump.
“I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden wrote.
Following a shaky debate performance with Trump last month, worries have been raised about the 81-year-old president’s health and abilities, with Democrats labeling his performance as a disaster and a slow-motion car crash.
Even close political allies such as Nancy Pelosi have expressed concerns about Biden’s health.
In his letter today, Biden mentioned having discussions with the Democrat party leadership and voters over the past 10 days, acknowledging their concerns and fears regarding the election.
He stated, “I am not blind to them.”
Addressing concerns about his health and capability to run, Biden stated, “I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024.”
