Stephanopoulos Caught On Camera After Biden Interview: ‘I Don’t Think He Can Serve Four More Years’

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos said this week that he does not believe that President Joe Biden is physically and mentally capable of serving another term in office — a brutal assessment following his recent interview with the 81-year-old president.

Stephanopoulos made the remarks in a video that was obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, just a few days after his Friday interview with the president in which Biden tried and failed to stop talks by members of his party about getting him to drop out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump late last month.

“Do you think Biden should step down?” the person recording the video asked Stephanopoulos. “You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately.”

“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopoulos responded.

“You don’t think he can serve four more years?” the questioner repeated before adding: “All right, that’s an answer.”

Biden’s interview with Stephanopoulos was widely considered to be a disaster by many political pundits after he made numerous mistakes in the interview ranging from falsely claiming that Trump repeatedly interrupted him during the debate to claiming that all the polls that show him down in the race — which is nearly every poll in existence — are “wrong.”
