Mitt Romney Defends Joe Biden: 'Sometimes You Say The Wrong Word'
HuffPost
The Utah Republican said that age is going to be a "huge issue" in the 2024 election for both 81-year-old Joe Biden and 77-year-old Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON ― Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) defended Joe Biden amid questions about the president’s mental acuity following the release of a special counsel’s report that cast the 81-year-old as an elderly man with “significant” memory problems.
“I’ve worked with the president, and I haven’t seen anything that’s abnormal before. It was like President Trump saying Nikki Haley three times instead of Nancy Pelosi. Sometimes you say the wrong word,” Romney told HuffPost on Friday, referring to slip-ups that 77-year-old Donald Trump has made about world leaders in recent weeks.
But Romney, the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee, also called Biden’s age “a huge issue” in the election.
“The late 80s is kind of a tough time of thinking of running the country. And Donald Trump is not a lot younger,” he added.
Special counsel Robert Hur announced on Thursday that the Department of Justice would not be pressing charges against Biden for retaining classified documents after his vice presidency, saying that his case differed greatly from that of Trump, who has been charged with willfully doing the same after a Justice Department investigation.
