Former Sen. Barbara Boxer says Biden 'still has it'

Former U.S. Senator for California Barbara Boxer said President Joe Biden made it clear he is fit for the presidency after she had given the president two weeks to prove himself following a much-criticized performance at the first 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.

“I do think the last two weeks he’s been out there,” Boxer said. “We’ve seen him. Look, he’s a little slower, as he says. The words come in a tough way because he has that stutter. He’s had it all his life. Nobody realizes that. Joe has been that way his whole life because he has dealt with the stutter.”

“…The amount of bullying, the amount of pushing this man out the door without understanding the fact that, yes, he had a horrible one night, no question about it,” Boxer said. “And there are reasons for that which he gave, which others have given. But he has shown in the last couple of weeks he still has it.”

“This has been, in my opinion, the greatest economic recovery since FDR and we’re looking at a man who has presided over now almost 16 million jobs created,” Boxer said. “Since the records were kept, best performance.”
