Senator Bernie Sanders has come to the defense of President Biden's mental fitness, saying that he is still sharp despite his age. Sanders said that he has spoken to Biden recently and that he continues to support him in his quest for re-election.

"Biden is old," Sanders said. "He's not as articulate as he once was. I wish he could jump up the steps on Air Force One. He can't. What we have got to focus on is policy, whose policies have and will benefit the vast majority of the people in this country."
Sanders said that he believes the American people want a president with the "guts to take on corporate America." He said that Biden is that person and that he will fight for the working class.

"He has got to say, ‘I am prepared to take on corporate greed, massive income and wealth inequality and stand with the working class in this country.’ He does that, he's going to win and win big."
Sanders' comments come as some Democrats have expressed concern about Biden's mental fitness. Biden has made several gaffes in recent months, and some have questioned whether he is up to the demands of the presidency.

However, Sanders said that he is confident in Biden's ability to serve as president. He said that Biden is still sharp and has the experience and judgment to be president.
"I have spoken to Joe Biden recently," Sanders said. "He is sharp. He is engaged. He is ready to lead this country."
Sanders said that he is running for re-election as senator from Vermont. He said that he wants to continue to fight for the working class and that he believes Biden will do the same as president.
"I am running for re-election to the United States Senate," Sanders said. "I am running to continue to fight for the working class of this country. I am running to continue to fight for Medicare for All, for tuition-free college, for a $15 minimum wage. I am running to fight for the Green New Deal. I am running to fight for justice for all Americans."
