Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton expressed frustration over voters who are torn between President Biden and former President Trump in the upcoming election, questioning why the choice between the two elderly candidates is challenging for some.
Hillary Clinton, the former Democratic presidential candidate who narrowly lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 election, recently voiced her bewilderment over voters who are struggling to choose between President Biden and Trump in the upcoming presidential race. Clinton, who appeared on "Morning Joe" in May, questioned why the decision between "two old candidates" would be difficult for voters.
"We have two old candidates. One is, yes, old and effective, has passed legislation that I think is going to put America on such a strong footing for the future, is compassionate, cares about people, tries hard to make the right decision, and they are complicated," Clinton said of Biden. "The other is old and dangerous. I mean, why is that a hard choice for people?"

Clinton's comments come as Biden, who is 79 years old, and Trump, who is 75 years old, are the oldest major party presidential candidates in American history. Biden has emphasized his experience and qualifications, while Trump has played up his outsider status and populist appeal.
Clinton's frustration may stem from her own experience as a candidate in the 2016 election, where she faced criticism for her age and gender. After losing the election, Clinton suggested that sexism may have played a role in her defeat, claiming that some voters were reluctant to support a woman as president.

In her recent comments on "Morning Joe," Clinton also lamented the lack of enthusiasm among some voters, particularly young people, in the upcoming election. She suggested that many voters feel disillusioned with the current political climate and are unsure about which candidate to support.
"I think there's a lot of discouragement, a lot of disaffection, a lot of disillusionment with the current political process," Clinton said. "And I think that's why we're seeing a lot of people saying, 'I'm not sure I'm going to vote.'"

Clinton's comments highlight the challenges facing both Biden and Trump as they seek to energize their base and attract undecided voters. With the election rapidly approaching, both candidates will need to demonstrate why they are the best choice to lead the country, particularly among young voters and those who remain on the fence.
