Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith criticized those who claimed Joe Biden’s State of the Union address showed he is mentally and physically capable of another presidential term, given his advanced age of nearly 82.
While acknowledging Biden appeared energetic in his speech, Smith argued a single hour-long performance does not prove ability to serve for four more years until 2028.
Smith expressed concern over Biden’s age and previous “slippage,” asserting the Democratic party is relying on an 82-year-old man to “save the day” and calling it a “disgrace” and “utter disgrace” they are pushing him to run again.
“You had an abundance of people on the left who want to bring up how they saw this man, and they said, ‘Hey, you know what? He looks fiery, so much fervor, so much energy.’ And you had the left wanting to make a big deal about that,” Smith said.
“So, guess what? That means I can run five miles, now? That means I’m in shape?”
“What the hell does that mean that Joe Biden looked like he had energy last night?” Smith added sarcastically.
“The question is, can you rely on him to do that for four years, starting next year? That’s the question!” Smith insisted.
“He gives a speech for an hour and 10 minutes or so… and suddenly, that warrants four more years?” Smith exclaimed.
“For a dude that’s gonna turn 82 years of age in Nov. and is expected to give four more years after that?” he said incredulously.
“I said before, and I’ll say it again. It is an utter disgrace that in the year 2024, the Democratic Party, who calls itself ‘progressive,’ is begging and relying upon an 82-year-old to come save the day for 2025, 2026, 2027, into 2028,” Smith said.
“If you think that an hour speech offsets all of that, you smoking crack! I’m worried. Age matters. At this point in time, with a Joe Biden because we’ve seen some slippage. He didn’t look that way last night, give him credit for that. But it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things when you’re talking about four more years, ” he concluded.

Smith maintained age is an important factor and Biden’s speech alone does not outweigh concerns about his capacity to serve another full term.
