Another Steak Dinner Bet? Clay Predicts Biden Won’t Run in ’24
12 Jul 2022
BUCK: This is really interesting. I hadn’t seen it laid out this way before. This is from the data analyst over at FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver, on presidential age, which we’re getting a lot of discussions about right now, with the 10 oldest presidents at inauguration, okay? Oldest at inauguration he’s got here. People talk about how Reagan was old. Reagan was 69 at inauguration, okay?
He’s the third oldest. Trump was actually in his seventies. He was older for a president. Most of the presidents, though, on the list of Top 10 are 61-62. Joe Biden’s 78 years and 61 days old the day that he took office. He took office almost as an 80-year-old. This is not just some Republican talking point. This is not something that, you know, we don’t like Biden’s policies. Folks, he is too old for the job now. He was too old then — and for a second term, it’s just reckless.
CLAY: Well, and remember, initially there was a lot of argument about the fact that Biden should say, “I’m only running for one term,” and then he refused and he’s tried to argue ever since that he’s going to be a two-term president. I think in the wake of the midterms, Buck, this is why I expect in February or March for Biden to announce he’s not going to run because I think he’s gonna get forced out by Democrats.
But also he doesn’t have any power once he loses control of Congress. So he is going to be a lame duck, regardless, and I just don’t see any way that Democrats… I’ve been referring to it as the Weekend at Bernie’s Part 2. I don’t see any way they can drag him across the finish line again. I think that that is going to be a failure. I think it is inconceivable that he could be the nominee, and slowly, all of a sudden —
BUCK: We’re gonna have to throw some steak dinner bets out there, Clay.
CLAY: You think he’s gonna be the nominee?
BUCK: I think if Trump announces, I think Biden thinks he can do it.
CLAY: I will put a steak dinner on the fact that Biden will not be the nominee in 2020.
BUCK: Let me think about my bet before we shake on it.
CLAY: I’ll put it on the line. Think about whether you want to put it on the line.
