ABC's George Stephanopoulos Apologizes to Media Overlords for Saying Biden Can't Serve Another Term
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos apologized for saying President Joe Biden could struggle to serve another term in office.
Stephanopoulos, who last week interviewed Biden after his disastrous debate performance, told a passerby, who happened to be a TMZ reporter, that Biden is unable to serve four more years as president.
“Do you think Biden should step down?” the reporter asks.
“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopoulos responds.

The clip quickly went viral on X, garnering 750,000 views.
Despite Stephanopoulos saying what many Democrats and other media outlets are now parroting, he quickly apologized for his remarks.
“Earlier today I responded to a passerby. I shouldn’t have,” he said in a statement to his own network.
ABC later clarified that Stephanopoulos had “expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.”

The news comes amid escalating panic among high-profile Democrats and establishment media heads that Biden is likely suffering from Parkinson’s Disease and dementia.
However, Biden is refusing to step down and decalred he is fighting fit and is not going anywhere.
“I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” Biden told Congressional Democrats this week.
“I wouldn’t be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024.”
