Bill Clinton thinks Joe Biden 'was in good shape,' but did admit to one concern about him.
Bill Clinton told CBS News' 'Sunday Morning' there was never a moment when he thought Joe Biden was unfit to run for president, amid accusations of a coverup of Biden's decline.
'I saw President Biden not very long ago and I thought he was in good shape,' Clinton told CBS New in an interview published Sunday.
The former Democratic president's comments come amid accusations that the Biden family and the Democratic establishment protected Biden as he allegedly declined mentally and physical during his reelection campaign, punctuated by alarming accounts in the newly released book, 'Original Sin.' It also comes as Biden recently revealed he was diagnosed with advanced-stage prostate cancer.
Clinton, who said he didn't read the book, theorized that people are citing concerns about Biden's health in order to blame him for Trump's election victory. But he did make one admission:
'The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?' Clinton said. 'We had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking he can't do this anymore. He was always on top of his brief.'
