In a sit-down interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, President Joe Biden laughed off a question about his advancing age and declared that he can beat Trump again in 2024.
Biden, who turns 80 in November, was asked by Tapper about the “suspense” surrounding his 2024 decision.
“Whenever anybody raises concerns about your age, you’re the oldest president in the history of the United States, you always say “Watch me.” Voters have been watching you. Democratic voters approve of the job you’re doing. Democratic voters overwhelmingly like you,” Tapper said.
“But one poll shows that almost two-thirds of Democratic voters want a new nominee in 2024, and the top reason they gave was your age. So what’s your message to Democrats who like you, who like what you’ve done, but are concerned about your age and the demands of the job?”
“Well, they’re concerned about whether or not I can anything done,” Biden responded. “Look what I’ve gotten done. Name me a president in recent history that’s gotten as much done as I have in the first two years. Not a joke. You may not like what I got done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done.”
“And so, I just — it’s a matter of, can you do the job? And I believe I can do the job. I’ve been able to do the job. I’ve gotten more done. I’ve gotten the Inflation Reduction — I got all these pieces of legislation passed. And I ran on that. I said this is what I was going to do. And I’m still getting it done,” he added.
Tapper then asked if a Donald Trump run in 2024 plays a factor in Biden’s decision to run or not, to which the president said, “I believe I can beat Donald Trump again.”

Yes he would beat him again with even more votes, but it’s time for younger leaders.
a 15 minutes of a sit-down interview with a friendly interview – in 2 years. For sure Putin does more, and probably even Kim. I wonder whether he can do a stand-up one.
OF COURSE. IF HE STEALS THE ELECTION LIKE HE DID IN 2020.
Of course he can beat him again. By rigging another election.
These Libs are dangerous don?t get in their way
he is a NAZI and we don’t partner with Nazis…..Israel we do not recognize this leader…nor Charles
but could Biden beat anyone other than Trump (e.g. a middle-aged MAGA politician)?
Sara Rifka,
Nazi?
Keeps talking about what he got done, mainly his inflation reduction, anyone that has done any sort of shopping in the past 2 years knows that’s bs. Do the democrats not shop? Or are they banking on getting more money from the working class for their free – give away someone else’s money – programs?
Yes Menachem Shaia NAZI. not much different than Adolf
