George Stephanopoulos, an ABC News anchor, said he does not believe President Joe Biden can serve another four years.
âI donât think he can serve four more years,â Stephanopoulos responded on a video to a passerby in New York City.
The footage was first obtained by TMZ Tuesday.
Stephanopoulos later regretted those words in a statement to The Hill.
âEarlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldnât have,â he said through a spokesperson.
ABC also responded, saying, âGeorge expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.â
Stephanopoulos interviewed Biden after his poor performance in a debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27.
The performance added concern to Bidenâs age and mental acuity. Many Democrats have called for him to step down from the presidential race.
Biden told Stephanopoulos the debate was a âbad nightâ and vowed to stay in the race.
âI donât think thereâs anybody more qualified to be president or win this race than me,â Biden said.
