ABC’s George Stephanopoulos appeared to deliver a scathing verdict on President Joe Biden’s ability to serve another 4-year term.
Stephanopoulos, also former White House communications director, was strolling through New York City when a passerby approached him and got straight to the point about whether Biden was fit to run.

“Do you think Biden should resign? You’ve been talking to him more than anyone else lately,” the passerby can be heard saying in a video recording, TMZ reported.
“I don’t think he can serve another four years,” Stephanopoulos responded.
Stephanopoulos ran away, but the passerby was thrilled to receive an answer about his opinion of Biden.
“Don’t you think he can serve another four years?” said the passerby as Stephanopoulos walked away.
“Okay, that’s an answer.”
CONCERNS
Stephanopoulos spoke with Biden for 22 minutes interview last week, during which the ABC anchor probed the president about his disastrous debate with Donald Trump the week before.
“Concerns about his age and health are growing. That’s why I’m asking – to reassure you that you would be willing to receive an independent medical assessment,” said Stephanopoulos.
Biden didn’t give a direct answer, but insisted he takes them frequently.
Stephanopoulos asked Biden about his conversation with his doctor following his poor debate performance.
“He said he just looked at me and said, ‘You’re exhausted,’” Biden recalled during the interview.
“That’s it. I have doctors who travel with me everywhere. Every president does that, as you know.
“Doctors, some of the best in the world, travel with me wherever I go. I have an ongoing assessment of what I’m doing and they don’t hesitate to tell me if they think there’s something wrong.”
LORD ALMIGHTY
Biden, 81, insisted that no one is more fit to run for president than him.
He said the only way he could give up was if the “Lord Almighty” himself instructed him to do so.
“If the Lord Almighty said ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I would get out of the race, but the Lord Almighty won’t get down,” Biden continued in the interview.
However, Biden’s ability to handle a president’s busy schedule has been called into question after he reportedly told Democrats he needed more sleep.
Biden recently admitted that he almost fell asleep on stage as well.
“I wasn’t very smart,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Virginia last week.
“I decided to travel the world a few times… just before the debate.
“I didn’t listen to my team… and I almost fell asleep on stage.”
