Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday dismissed concerns about President Joe Biden's age and mental fitness and called on voters to support him over former President Donald Trump.
Clinton, in an interview with SiriusXM's "Mornings with Zerlina." which was recorded on Tuesday but will air on Wednesday morning, said that people should "accept the reality" that "Joe Biden is old," but questioned "Why would we say, 'Oh, you know what? Yeah, he's still getting things done and it's going to improve my life and the life of my children and grandchildren, but he's just too old and I don't like seeing somebody old.' "
The former New York Senator said that while she thinks "there's a lot to that," voters should "worry a lot more about Donald Trump," the current front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, than Biden.
She said, "If you are worried about" Biden's age and verbal slip-ups, "listen to Donald Trump who is like ranting, making no sense, can't even remember who he is running against."
Clinton said that Trump "constantly talks about [former President] Barack Obama being his opponent. Last I checked, that wasn't what was happening. So if you're worried about a person not necessarily knowing what's going on, I'd worry a lot more about Donald Trump."
According to Clinton, "We have a contest between one candidate who's old, but who's done an effective job and doesn't threaten our democracy. And we have another candidate who is old, barely makes sense when he talks, is dangerous, and threatens our democracy. So really pick between your two old ones and figure out how you're going to save our democracy."
