WATCH: Ex-Obama Staffer Admits 'Frail' Biden Could Cost Democrats The Presidency - 'A Very Real Issue'

On a recent episode of the 'Pod Save America' podcast, former Obama chief speechwriter Jon Favreau admitted that 81-year-old President Joe Biden's age is a "very real issue" amid concerns that the president is not fit for another four years in the White House.

"If you watch Joe Biden speak, oftentimes he sounds frail, and he sounds more frail than he used to, even in 2019 and 2020. Now that may, and I think it doesn't have anything to do with how sharp he is mentally, but the voice sounds frail, and he shuffles the voice sounds frail, and he shuffles more because of arthritis in his back, So for more people in the country that are just watching him be president, what do they see when they turn on the television? They see him shuffle, and they hear him," Favreau said, per The New York Post. "And he's swallowing a lot more of his words now. Obviously, he's had a stutter, but it doesn't sound like the stutter did even in 2020. He's just soft-spoken and quiet."

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, a recent ABC News/Ipsos survey, conducted from February 9-10, shows that 86 percent of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve another term in the White House. Amongst that percentage, 59 percent also said that 45th President Donald Trump, who is 77 years old, is too old to serve another four years in the White House.

When broken down by party, 73 percent of Democrats and 91 percent of independents said Biden was too old to serve. For Trump, only 35 percent of Republicans said he was too old. Among independents, a key voting bloc Trump needs to win in November, 71 percent said he was too old to be president again.

The poll, with a margin of error of 4.5 percent, came out at the same time that President Biden is dealing with the fallout of special counsel Robert Hur's report on his mishandling of classified documents. Hur concluded that he would not be bringing charges against Biden but noted the president's repeated memory failures during a lengthy interview spanning over two days. 

"In an interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ('If it was 2013 - when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ('in 2009, am I still Vice President?')," the report reads. "He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him."

"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," the report added.
