George Stephanopoulos Sparks Controversy Over Doubts on Biden’s Potential to Serve Another Term

George Stephanopoulos Suggests Biden’s Inability to Serve Another Term in Shocking Video

Stealthily recorded and later circulated on a gossip website, George Stephanopoulos, the well-known ABC News anchor, expressed his doubts regarding President Biden’s potential to undertake another term in the office.

Puzzling Interaction Sparks Controversy

The now-infamous exchange took place in Midtown Manhattan when an unrecognizable individual, keeping a phone camera concealed, approached Stephanopoulos himself out for a walk in his gym gear. The stranger questioned the anchor about his perspective on the President’s future in the government, given the fact that Stephanopoulos had recently interviewed Biden following a debatedly inadequate debate performance by the President.

Hitting back innocuously, Stephanopoulos responded, “I don’t think he can serve four more years.”, which was a statement beyond the pale for a news anchor who, by charter, are supposed to steer clear from voicing personal opinions about individuals or topics they report on.

Stephanopoulos Apologizes and Provides Clarification

Only a few hours later, Stephanopoulos addressed his controversial comment. In an official statement, the veteran newscaster stated, “Earlier today, I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.” Simultaneously, a network representative clarified that Stephanopoulos’s comment was his own viewpoint and not in line with ABC News stance.

The Interview that Started it All

In an exclusive interview with President Biden, which garnered the attention of 8.5 million viewers, Stephanopoulos quizzed the President about his health and age-related matters assertively yet respectfully. This one-on-one session is worth noting as it granted Stephanopoulos a rare opportunity to spend a significant period of time with Biden post-debate, differentiating him from most individuals outside Biden’s immediate support circle.

The news anchor received applause for his dealings during his interview, notwithstanding as Stephanopoulos’s appraisal of the President’s potential to handle the rigors of a possible second term took center stage, throwing focus on his acclaimed handling of the interview into the backdrop.

The Ripple Effect

Following the release of the surreptitious recording, a ripple of responses are percolating through various political and media landscapes. The incident calls not only Stephanopoulos’s journalistic neutrality into question but also raises unsettling questions regarding the health and fitness of the current President to handle four more years in the demanding office.
