Jon Stewart says Biden is so old he 'shouldn't be president'
Kwan Wei Kevin Tan May 6, 2024, 12:00 AM EDT

A second Trump term may be frightening, but President Joe Biden is just too old to be reelected, says comedian Jon Stewart.

"I know liberals say, 'Don't say Joe Biden is old' — don't say what people see with their own eyes," Stewart said of the 81-year-old president. "I know you know how fucking old he is, and I know you don't want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he's so fucking old."

"When you watch him on television, you're nervous, aren't ya?" Stewart continued.
