Chris Christie Questions Biden's Fitness for Presidency Amid Age Concerns
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has raised concerns over President Joe Biden's fitness to serve another term in the White House, questioning both his physical and mental capabilities. In a recent interview, Christie expressed his doubts about Biden's ability to handle the pressures of the presidency until the age of 86.
"We’re talking about someone who wants to remain, until he’s 86 years old, in the most intense, pressurized job in the world. And he is not, in my opinion, physically or mentally up to it," Christie stated. His comments come amid a broader discussion about the age and health of America's political leaders.
When asked about his preference between Biden and former President Donald Trump, Christie was unequivocal in his response. "I think the two of them are both unacceptable alternatives. I would not vote if that’s the choice," he said. Christie further clarified his stance, stating, "If you feel like both choices are irresponsible, you don't make one. Which is why I’m running, to give the American people a better choice."
This is not the first time Christie has voiced his disapproval of both Biden and Trump. In June, he reiterated similar sentiments, expressing his reluctance to vote for either candidate. When pressed about his potential support for Trump, Christie firmly stated, "I can’t support either one of them. Not Biden or Trump because they’re not competent and qualified to be president for different reasons – Joe Biden predominantly because of age and what we’ve seen on TV, and Donald Trump because I don’t believe he can win."
Christie and Trump have been trading barbs for several months, but Christie has been clear in his belief that Trump should not return to the White House, particularly given his ongoing legal issues. "The American people and Republican primary voters have to start to understand this. When did we get to the point where we’re always blaming our adversaries for the weakness of our candidates? ‘Oh, it’s the Democrats fault,’ ‘It’s DOJ’s fault.’ ‘It’s this person’s fault.’ ‘It’s the media’s fault,'" Christie said. "How about: ‘It’s his’? He hasn’t won a d*** thing since 2016. Three-time loser."
