Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday spoke about President Biden’s age following the president’s much-criticized debate performance against former President Trump.
Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and was asked about whether Biden, who is 81 years old, should be running for re-election.
“You know, I think it’s just an individual choice, and you really can’t generalize,” Fauci said.
Fauci, who helped lead the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, said one must look at each person as an individual and evaluate “how they feel, what they feel they can do.”
“You know, what their passion is, what their energy is,” Fauci said. “Those are the kind of things.”
When asked if he was surprised by anything he saw during Thursday’s presidential debate, Fauci said he did not want to comment on anything that “would have political implications.”
