New footage released by TMZ shows ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos admitting President Biden likely can’t make it four more years in office. Stephanopoulos, who recently interviewed Biden, was stopped by a reporter in the street.
“Do you think Biden should step down?” the anonymous reporter asked Stephanopoulos. “You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately.”
“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopoulos responded.
“You don’t think he can serve four more years?” the questioner repeated. “All right, that’s an answer.”
Watch the exchange below:

From The New York Post:
Hours later after the video made headlines, Stephanopoulos expressed regret for offering up his candid response.
“Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have,” the news anchor told Puck News in a statement.
And ABC News, in their own statement to the outlet, added: “George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.”
An estimated 8.5 million Americans watched at least some of Stephanopoulos’ 22-minute post-debate interview with Biden, 81, which aired in full July 5 and was rebroadcast on “This Week” the following Sunday.
