Both ABC News and its top political anchor George Stephanopoulos attempted damage control Tuesday night after he said he didn’t think President Biden can serve four more years.
ABC News is distancing itself from its star anchor’s candid assertion that President Biden can’t serve four more years in office.
George Stephanpoulos, on the heels of his high-stakes interview last week with Biden following the president’s disastrous debate performance, was seen on video being asked whether Biden should step down.
“I don’t think he can serve four more years”, Stephanopoulos responded while walking in New York City, according to the video obtained by TMZ.
ABC News released a statement Tuesday night telling Fox News Digital, “George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.”
Stephanopoulos appeared to be regretful of his candid admission, saying in a statement, “Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pointed Fox News Digital to comments made at Tuesday’s press briefing by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who told Fox News’ Peter Doocy that the president is committed to serving a full second term in office.
