The journalist spoke to Biden in a televised, sit-down interview after the presidential debate, which sparked a discussion about his mental fitness
Journalist George Stephanopoulos, who interviewed Joe Biden following a presidential debate that raised red flags about his health, doesn’t think Biden can make it another term as president.
“What do you think? Do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anyone else has lately,” says the passerby. “You can be honest.”
“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” a voice that reportedly belongs to Stephanopoulos replies, off camera.
In his own defence, Biden told Stephanopoulos the debate was a “bad episode” and was not an “indication of any serious condition.”
“I was exhausted,” said Biden, in the July 5 interview. “I didn’t listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and — and a bad night.”
“Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have,” said the statement.
ABC News also commented on the video in a statement to Puck News.
“George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News,” the news network said.
