Van Jones: Biden Wasn’t Fit, But ‘Was in Pretty Good Shape’ When Media Saw Him

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones had some surprising words to say about President Joe Biden.

In a recently leaked audio recording of an interview between Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur, Jones stated that Biden “was not up to the job.” This statement is causing quite a stir in the media and among political analysts.

Jones went on to clarify his statement by saying that while Biden may not have been the most fit candidate during the election, he is “in pretty good shape” now that he is in office. This comes as a shock to many, as Jones has been a vocal supporter of Biden’s campaign and policies.

But Jones’ statement does raise an important question: is Biden truly fit for the job of President?

During the 2020 election, there were concerns about Biden’s age and whether he would be able to handle the demands of being the Commander-in-Chief. At 78 years old, he is the oldest person to assume the presidency. However, despite these concerns, Biden has proven time and time again that age is just a number.

Since being sworn in as President, Biden has hit the ground running, tackling several pressing issues facing the nation. From the COVID-19 pandemic to economic recovery to addressing racial injustice, Biden has shown that he is more than capable of leading the country.

But Jones’ statement also brings to light the media’s perception of Biden during the election. Many criticized the media for not being critical enough of Biden’s age and fitness, instead focusing on his opponent’s age and health. However, it seems that Biden has proven the media wrong with his performance as President.

Not only has Biden been active in his first few months in office, but he has also made significant progress in many areas. He has already signed landmark legislations, such as the American Rescue Plan and the American Jobs Plan, that aim to help the American people and the economy. He has also taken steps to address climate change, rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, and promote diversity in his administration.

It is clear that Biden is not only fit for the job, but he is also doing an exceptional job. His experience and leadership have brought a sense of stability and hope to the country, something that was sorely needed after a tumultuous year.

In addition to his actions as President, Biden’s physical and mental health have also been praised by those close to him. Unlike his predecessor, Biden is known for taking care of himself by regularly exercising and maintaining a healthy diet. He also has a team of advisors and staff who support and assist him in his duties.

In the end, Jones’ statement may have been a surprise to many, but it ultimately highlights the resilience and capability of Biden. He may not have been the most physically fit or the youngest candidate, but he has proven that he is more than up to the job of President. And as Jones himself stated, even though Biden may not have been the perfect candidate, he is doing a great job as President.

In a time where the country is facing numerous challenges, having a President who is “in pretty good shape” is exactly what we need. Let us continue to support and trust President Biden as he leads us towards a better tomorrow.
