CNN’s Senior Political Commentator David Axelrod weighs in on concerns for President Joe Biden’s age and what that can mean for the upcoming 2024 elections. #cnn #news
The media realized that the debate exposed Biden and confirmed to the populace what conservatives have been saying for years- he is senile. The mainstream media simply couldn’t lie anymore
I think it's just crazy. Honestly if I feel like they're over blowing this and exaggerating, this I mean he's 81 years old. Trump makes flubs all the time and it's funny. They never ask if he's fit cognitively that way. I'm just shocked and I'm glad I'm not the only one.
@@angryox3102 It varies a lot. Both are well within normal ranges. I'm absolutely not saying Biden is fine for the next 4 years, to be clear - he might stay fairly lucid, but it's not a gamble worth taking, plus he doesn't have the stamina day to day. Let's have a normal-age, Democrat president.
If he was my father, I would take the car keys away from him just as I had to do with my mother. She was a hazard to others. Joe is a hazard to a world full of others.
Yeah except for some reason they never say anything about Donald Trump's mental acuity, not only is he insane he is getting dementia he can't even remember who he's running against, Joe Biden had one bag debate and all of a sudden it wipes out his entire presidency, stop with the trolling in the bots
IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT EITHER. IT'S ABOUT CNN DONATING TO TRUMP (1) ELITE DEMS ARE JUST AS CORRUPT (there for, natural supporter of what trump wants to do--turn the us into an oligarchy) AS REPUBLICANS. (2) You really don't hear any of these voices yelling and screaming about trump's complete and utter unfitness to hold ANY office, nor are they yelling and screaming about the most horrific, egregious proposal of how to run our government EVER in PROJECT 2025 ! ! ! So, don't ya have to wonder, WHAT'S WITH THEM??
it is about age. sorry Bernie is too old to be president. doesn't mean they can not have influence. but their is a time to pass the torch and assist the younger generation the future.
I'm so tired of being gaslit by all these commentators, who are telling us we didn't see what we saw!! Shoving a choice down Democratic voters' throats is NOT democracy either!! I'm super progressive. I want another choice!
@@MrGeorgewf 20 years from now people are gonna talk about how the democrats imploded and lost the minority vote. People will wonder how the wool was pulled over societies eyes for so long. In 50 years from now the right side of history will be pro-life with a medical exception to protect mothers. Pro-choice will be the equivalent of slavery and democrats will again declare a big switch fallacy.
And it ALL was on their terms. Trump did whatever they asked for, saying anytime, any place. It's way deeper than that. People have seen signs of Biden's decline and avoiding being unscripted for a very long time. Two weeks ago the videos were called 'cheap fakes' and a right wing conspiracy. Who is behind all this cover up and why did the media go along with it? And, if they've been lying to you and all of us about THIS, consider that what they've been telling you about Trump and a lot of other things for years might not be trustworthy? I say every American should watch the best people on the mainstream media and the best on Fox and decide for yourselves. Sean Hannity, who I don't even like, has video going back 4 years questioning Biden's cognitive skills. At least for months we've all seen it, but if you said it, you're a right wing kook. Ridiculous. Americans deserve better. The world deserves better.
Biden's paying the price, but the people within the Democratic party who pushed for it will reap the benefits. Trump wanted it to divert attention away from his recent convictions. I wouldn't doubt that his recent convictions were timed for that purpose.
@@blackout07blue There's no ego to match DJT, someone who went to great lengths to stay in power and has repeatedly lied to the American people about election fraud.
He is an 81 years old man with a speech impediment that is worse when he is exhausted. CNN is to blame for the whole mess. Jake Tapper was useless. There is nothing wrong with Biden’s brain.
He stutters. Go watch any speaker with that same attitude of impatience and consider yourself an ageist impatient voter and you will find yourself being conditioined like a sheep to act a waywardly. CNN is brainwashing you to accept the farty stinky guy. FDR was a few months older than Hitler but outlived him!
I wonder if this guy (whoever he is) thinks half the country are existential threats to our country. These dims need to get past their hatred of President Trump. It’s ridiculous after having this demented old man for 3 1/2 years “running” this country for them to keep slamming a man who could easily have walked away. Even their politically motivated show trials have backfired. And this is another example of the deception they’re capable of. And I find it intriguing that the media who has covered for biden for years, is suddenly calling for him to step down. Even biden thought the whole country loved him. And now not so much. Pathetic.
Reminds me of arguing with a grandfather about driving…he insists on being able to drive, and we all have to take away his keys for the safety of himself and others, despite his indignant resolve …sometimes the elderly just don’t want to face the reality of their diminished capabilities and those who love them have to make choices on their behalf.
The first question from the interview was, "Did you see the debate?" and Biden said "No". They should had played clips from his answers and ask him to re-answer them again. Break his denial.
Right?!? And thats not even the worst part... He didn't try and right the ship for an entire week post debate! Obviously his handlers realized that would somehow be more of a liability and dissuasion, than the debate. Its wild!
CNN.... Should be ashamed of itself....try covering the booming economy.... Jobs report and such ...How about the "KATIE JOHNSON/Jeffrey Epstein/Donald tRUMP story.....WTH CNN ⁉️🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
people age differently, Biden aged faster than we hoped, the ABC interview sounded like it was the first time he was hearing any pushback, which is a sad statement on his allies who apparently aren't telling him the truth, Jack
He will be 86 if he is re elected. Hid cognitive decline will only get worse. Joe Biden is sounding like Trump when he says don't believe the polls, and only he can do it. Democrats calling for Biden to step down understand that Biden cant win
no he should not step down , Biden has a chance of wining and everyone wants him to lose , he should stay in the race , he should step down if he loses the election on election day , no more excuses # Biden 2024
Shame on you CNN, you want to push Biden out of the race and throw Democrats into confusion so that Trump will have a chance to win the election, Biden is not going anywhere, he is the best candidate to defeat Trump Trump Maga judges are finally turning America democracy into theocracy because of Trump, instead of you talking about that tragedy you are here everyday talking about ordinary debate that never change the minds of the electorates, shame on you CNN. From Nigeria
Oh my goodness! Mr Axelrod....how dare you not support someone who is for democracy. I can't believe you are supporting TRUMP.....yet you are. Shame on you!!! YOU SHOULD RETIRE!!!!!!!!
He has spoke about Mitch and said the same thing but Mitch isn't the president with the codes for Nuclear Weapons and doesn't have to leave the country to negotiate with other leaders.
Mitch McConnell isn't president, and he (rightly) decided not to seek reelection already. Personally I think he should have resigned. But anyway that has nothing to do with Biden, who also needs to resign.
"If I give it my all and do the GOODEST job I can do- that's what this is about." ??????? That alone, to me, is DISTURBING. It's about the data showing that he can't win. His own words display that he is dangerously out of touch. Axelrod's assessment is sound.
Let alone they blamed Russia for a fake News Story with the laptop… an have no plan to talk to Putin… we are literally heading to a Hot War wit Russia… an Biden is asleep by 8pm… we need help…

Yep, he should know. He worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016, so he knows what losing looks like. We are just slow walking into another disaster--just like 2016.
You talking about the orange menace who denied the 2020 elections were stolen and then a recording he admitted he lost the election No who is your friend is it denial go fun yourself
Axlerod stop GASLIGHTING! Acting like we just found out the president is old ! CNN. Just overlooked Trump lies and crimes the GUY IS A FELON! are we living in a another world my god! One debate and everyone is freaking out .Trump debate was horrible also.

Aging is different. It’s extremely difficult for seniors to accept the realities of aging. Anyone who’s had to deal with an elderly family member at this phase of their life can tell you. They just don’t call you on the phone and say hey I’m unable to walk anymore or remember what I had for breakfast, I think I need professional care. More likely they hide it as long as possible, deny it and get angry when confronted, all the time demonstrating all of the symptoms right before your eyes.
Honestly CNN must think their staff IS AMERICA! 😂 Honestly they must completely ignore these thousands of comments that directly contradict their crap.
Democracy is not the answer...becoming a republic is. A republic is a government system where the people of a nation vote for delegates to represent them.
That’s the point. When you are as important as qb or president it is best to leave when you are in top form rather than in decline taking your team into abyss
Biden should not step down , Biden has a chance of wining and everyone wants him to lose , he should stay in the race , he should step down if he loses the election on election day , no more excuses It was a mistake for Biden to drop out 50 years ago and it would be a mistake to drop out now , he has a right to another 4 years # Biden 2024
@@user-yz2ks6ii1ialmost every team in the NFL would take Tom Brady and put him in as starting quarterback right now if they had the chance. Many people beIieve he still has what it takes to win football games and even win another Super Bowl. It’s the same with Biden.
@@user-yz2ks6ii1i that’s was not the point. In doing the Tom Brady analogy he was implying Father Time caught up to him and he was no longer able to perform at a high level which is not true.

This is what the media does when a politician steps out of line in my opinion, they have made it clear what they want and now they are starting to turn on Biden because the real people in power do not want him as the candidate, Trump has the following he has because they do the same thing to him, you only THINK you know these candidates but in reality you know what the media fed you, nothing more.
As a Trump supporter PLEASE keep Biden in the race do not let him DROP OUT!!!! We need him to stay in. Biden do not listen to the polls just stay in and keep on keeping on
why not? It seems like the perfect analogy! Professional sports teams don't sign old athletes to massive long term contracts after their peak. They move on to signing the next generation.
Power. That is what these former High School Class presidents want - power. You met those types in high school, people who hung out with the teachers and the principal looking to ingratiate themselves with the powers that be.
His policies sucked before the media admitted he's basically a vegetable, if age is the reason they wanna give , cool ... As long as he's not calling the shots anymore
French politicians just sacrificed for their country...the President should follow their lead...please Mr President drop the ego and do the right thing
Leave Trump out of this. After all, you don't like him. His supporters still want him in the race. If you genuinely hate the idea of Trump being president again, you should join the people asking Biden to step aside.
Joe's concern need to be what is best for the country, not what is best for Joe. If Donald Trump wins the future of not just the United States is at risk but the future of humanity is at risk.
Did you know Governor Murphy said after his last election was over and his opponent was ahead he said I think we will find more votes in Essex county how did he know?
I have speech problems and make speech errors. I even hate public speaking. I tend to shake a lot and stutter if I speak in front of a lot of people I am a 52 year old neurodivergent with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD. I also have Ataxia which is a rare neurological condition that involves coordination problems like Dyspraxia does. I had early intervention in early childhood that included auditory therapy, speech therapy, phonics training, motor skills therapy, and even special education. I was misidentified as having an intellectual disability and was misplaced in special education with children with intellectual disabilities before I was identified as having above average intelligence and was placed in a more appropriate special education class. I was eventually mainstreamed from 3rd grade to the end of high school. I know what it is liked to be judged for the way I talk. I am very softspokened and have a high pitch voice that makes me seem much younger as well as feminine. I do have high estrogen levels. My index fingers are even longer than my ring fingers, and those are highly feminine finger ratios. It supposed to indicate that I was exposed to high levels of estrogen in my mother's womb. I became a Neurodiversity advocate. I created and run Developmental Neurodiversity Association facebook group and Developmental Neurogenomics facebook group. I have a Neurodivergence blog.

If Trump wins, CNN will be responsible. Instead of focusing on the democracy ending project 2025, they keep talking about this issue. I am not voting Democrat because of Joe Biden. I’m voting for the Democratic Party because the values it represents, and I don’t want us to live in a fascist state.
That’s too low of an age limit. Reagan was over 70 as President and he was one of the greatest presidents in American history. He won the cold war and made the economy boom in the 1980’s. Made sure Japan didn’t catch up to the US economy 80 years old might be a better age limit
Yes! I'm celebrating £32K stock portfolio today... Started this journey with £3K.... I've invested no time and also with the right terms, now I have time for my family an…
So you just want them to affirm what you want and believe. You want them to tell you what you want to hear. That's exactly what they have been doing for years. It proves that you shit libs only want to hear what you want to hear and not the truth.
When your friends can’t support you, it’s time to take a long hard look at what you are doing wrong. I don’t think he has dementia, but the Presidency takes a toll on a younger man, and all this stuff regarding Hunter, and the Jan 6th must have been exhausting. I am 20 years younger, and pretty fit, but I need a nap in the afternoon. He simply hasn’t got it in him.
When you get a flat tyre you don't just keep on going with ol' faithful because it's annoying to stop and change it. Biden suddenly became ten years older on that debate stage. There's spare tires in the trunk.
History will not be kind to America if you let biden remain in office one more day! We have 4 potential war fronts developing simultaneously, the last thing we need is a president addled with dementia running the country!
It's not just a bad 90min. It's clear he has been this way for too long and "they" are covering for him. Deplorable! It's shouldn't be a popularity contest but a policy choice. Which four years have been better for most Americans? Please list the terrible things done during Trumps four years...
BUT WAIT...REMEMBER I SURPASSED OBAMA'S MILLIONS OF VOTES🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 REMEMBER.... BEST CNSOLATION, MAJORITY ARE REALIZING 5HE TRUTH...NOT WITCH HUNT.
My Grandpa who died of Alzheimer's had lucid moments too. Watching the debate and seeing Biden in that condition made me really fearful for the first time that Biden will actually lose. His appearances since have not been reassuring. This is too important to get wrong. The DNC needs to nominate another candidate at the convention. Biden needs to step down sooner rather than later.
You should hope he loses to Trump . Trump is actually the best president we have ever had and he is the opposite of what Biden and media says . All the things they say about Trump are obviously twisted lies . It’s actually Biden that is racist , dangerous, Hitler like etc
Presidents don't do anything anyway. They have a cabinet that deals with all aspects of the country. All they do is sing bills into law and put a pretty face for the other leaders. We also have a chain of command in case he can't do the job. President, vice-president, speaker of the house, etc, etc 😊
Go back and watch Reagan's first debate with Mondale. Reagan's performance in that debate was light years better Bidens. And then Reagan rebounded in the second debate. Not to mention, Reagan actually had press conferences.
@@MusicandMMA Reagan in 1984 was as bright as Reagan in 1980. It wasn’t until approximately mid 87 or early 88 before he actually started slowing down. At that point the 88 presidential election was not an issue because ya only get 2 terms. However Reagan himself was asked if 3 terms were possible would he have ran and he said no.
@@he_was_a_skater_dog MSM stories on president Trump were deranged. Cnn and msnbc smear and bash him every time he’s discussed. That’s not real news stories. Pure BS.
That's the typical Biden b.s. You can see the Reagan debate right here on YT. Reagan didn't look like he'd had a stroke and Mondale wasn't an existential threat to the country.
He didn't even answer her last question, he just went around it. The answer is: "No, Biden is not putting country above self. He is putting self above country."
