Discussing speculation over whether President Biden would run for reelection in 2024, "The View" host Joy Behar said Tuesday that David Axelrod, a former adviser to Barack Obama, should "keep his mouth shut" about president's age.
"David Axelrod should keep his mouth shut. And you know what, Ronald Reagan's rule was thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican. And I say onto you, David Axelrod, do not speak ill of a fellow Democrat," Behar declared.
Guest host Alyssa Farah brought up Axelrod's comments in a New York Times article from Saturday, headlined "Should Biden Run in 2024? Democratic Whispers of ‘No’ Start to Rise."
The New York Times reported that many Democrats were concerned with Biden's ability to save the party heading into the midterms and into 2024.
"The presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue," Axelrod told the outlet.
"In asking the question, who is most fit to beat Donald Trump, because that man should never be president again, I'm not sure its Joe Biden," Farah said, adding that she didn't think Biden has the same "sharpness."
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said that we need someone who can get the country back "in line" and said that she's more interested in which Republicans have a shot.
