Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy broke down President Joe Biden’s post-debate political future Friday evening on “Hannity.” Fox News guest host Kayleigh McEnany opened the segment noting Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner is gathering a group of Democratic senators to pressure Biden into ending his 2024 reelection bid following the first presidential debate. Kennedy then told McEnany he is “not sure” Biden’s pre-recorded interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is enough to move the needle. “I’m not sure, Kayleigh, that interview[s] like the president gave tonight matter much at this juncture. You can’t make this cat walk backwards,” Kennedy said. “People saw what they saw in that 90-minute debate, and I think most of them think that it’s only a matter of time before President Biden stumbles again because they understand that old age doesn’t get better, it gets worse.” “Fairly or unfairly, I think most Americans have made up their minds,” he continued. “I think they have concluded that President Biden is old. That he is likely suffering from some form of neurodegenerative disease that he’s suffered from for a while. And that the White House and many members of the media industrial complex have covered it up. And that coverup has been toxic, in my opinion, for what it’s worth.” “I think President Biden, politically, is as dead as fried chicken. He can now quit, he can be replaced — let me just finish my thought,” Kennedy said as McEnany began to respond. “Or he can run and lose. You can’t successfully run for president of the United States when your campaign slogan is, ‘I’m only senile some of the time,’ as one commentator pointed out today.” - “You shouldn’t look to Washington, D.C. for wisdom or comfort at this difficult time. As you know, most people in Washington, D.C. will unplug your life support to charge their cellphone,” Kennedy said. “Most people in Washington, D.C. right now are worried about how the president’s problems are going to impact them personally. I’m not interested in what the American people think.”
