Former Democratic Representative Susan Wild recently expressed reservations about President Biden's communication skills and questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's prospects in the 2024 presidential race. In a CNN interview, Wild stated she had "significant concerns" regarding Biden's speaking abilities, noting occasional difficulties understanding him even at close range. While affirming confidence in Biden's mental sharpness, she emphasized the importance of clear communication for a U.S. president. Wild's comments followed Biden's own reflections on his age and legacy in a USA Today interview, where he admitted uncertainty about his capacity to endure another term.

Wild also addressed the potential impact of Biden's age on the Democratic ticket, suggesting it posed a challenge. When asked about Harris's chances, she frankly assessed the 2024 race as "unwinnable" for the Vice President, citing an underestimation of Trump's resilience. This assessment came in response to questions about the various factors influencing the election outcome, including the presence of a woman of color on the Democratic ticket.

Biden, in his USA Today interview, acknowledged the age concerns and discussed his decision to run, emphasizing his belief that he had the best chance of defeating Trump. He also touched upon his earlier intentions to step aside after his son's death and his reflections on passing the torch. This candid conversation about his age and potential limitations comes after a recent incident where he rebuked reporters about his knowledge of world leaders.
