Finally, she brushed off moments when Biden makes “a slip of the tongue here or there.”
“What’s the deal?” she added.
On Sunday, an ABC News/Ipsos poll found a whopping 86% percent of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve another term.
The outlet noted that number includes 59% of Americans who think the 46th president and former President Donald Trump, 77, are both too old, and 27% who think just Biden is too old.
Seventy three percent of Democrats say Biden is too old, while just 35% of Republicans say the same of the former president.
Meanwhile, 91% of independents think Biden is too old, and 71% say Trump is as well.
