Hillary Clinton said in a MSNBC interview that President Joe Biden’s age is a « legitimate issue » for voters.
Hillary Clinton weighed in on concerns surrounding President Biden’s age, saying it’s a « legitimate issue. »
« I talked to people in the White House all the time, and you know, they know it’s an issue, but as I like to say, ‘look, it’s a legitimate issue,’ » Clinton told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner on Wednesday.
The former Democratic presidential nominee noted that it is also a « legitimate issue » for former President Donald Trump in his campaign for the Republican nomination.
« It’s a legitimate issue for Trump who’s only three years younger, right? » Clinton said. « So it’s an issue. »
The former first lady continued, saying that she is for Biden because of his « merits. »
« Once you say that, you need to also talk about what is at stake in this election, » Clinton continued. « And I’m for Joe Biden because of the merits. »
« I think he has done a really good job as president, » she added.
