Is Joe Biden too old to seek a return to high office in 2024? Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has conceded his age does pose a challenge but urged voters to look beyond the president’s advancing years to embrace his record instead.
Clinton, 75, addressed the 80-year-old president’s fitness for office at the Financial Times Weekend Festival in Washington over the weekend, saying “his age is an issue, and people have every right to consider” it, according to Fox News.
The former secretary of state and senator from New York delivered her view after FT editor Edward Luce pointed to Biden’s trouble negotiating a simple flight of stairs during last week’s G-7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan.
