81-year-old Sanders says age ‘is an issue’ in 2024 but a small one



Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says President Biden “seemed fine to me” cognitively when the two met “five or six weeks ago” and says voters should consider abortion rights, climate change and regulation of the pharmaceutical industry before they consider age as an issue.

  1. If Bernie would run for president I would vote for him

  2. would have be better if Bernie is our president

  3. Bernie use to attack Millionaires till he became one. He attacks Billionaires now since he's clearly NOT smart enough to become one. 🎪🤡🎪

  4. Look no further than the alternative .

  5. I love that man, but age is an issue.
    And I don't just mean senility. I mean GENERATION GAPS.
    Boomers who don't work fiddling with an economy they don't have to work in screwing it up with their "back in my day" arrogance for Gen Z. They left it behind and don't get it.

  6. Summing this interview up: "Democrats should unite behind Biden." And oh, Cornel West might be a spoiler for Biden.

  7. TRUMP IS PROBABLY THE GREATEST LIVING AMERICAN AND ONE OF OUR GREATEST PRESIDENTS ON SAME LEVEL AS LINCOLN AND JEFFERSON…😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸0

  8. I like how the right freaks out over Biden but Trumps no spring chicken hes only 2 years younger than Biden..voteblue

  9. Climate change is not an issue. The minimum wage is too high already.Bernie Sanders is senile.

  10. Bernie has much less mental decline than Trump or Biden , and he’s older than both of them.

  11. Bernie Sanders must Endorse Democratic RFK Jr.

  12. No age limits, but TERM LIMITS is a must.

  13. ANOTHER WEEKEND AT BERNIES! : ) YOU THE MAN BERN!

  14. Your a communist sanders go away

  15. Good old gaslighting NBC.
    I can see Biden's condition for myself.
    I don't need Chuckie telling me what to think.

  16. Biden is barely aware he is alive

  17. Americans love circus clowns, so these age old clowns are leading both parties.

  18. Of course a demented Democrat would say this! Greed, corruption is their creed!

  19. I'd say 91 felonies is a bigger factor than age

  20. Coming from another politician in his 80’s… but I am not one sided even though sanders is a far leftist his age as of now doesn’t scare me… but Biden’s age and current mental and physical issues should worry every American

  21. Anyone that thinks age is a problem listen to Ralph Nader for 5 minutes. 89 and sharp as a tack.
