Former US president, Donald Trump, having been criminally charged in New York, pledged Tuesday to “never drop out” of the 2024 race for the White House, and insisted Joe Biden is not fit to run again.
The Republican real estate magnate, facing 34 felony counts in New York over alleged hush money paid to an adult film actress, told Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson that nothing would prevent him from running — even a conviction.
“I’d never drop out,” he said. “It’s not my thing. I wouldn’t do it.”
Trump, 76, in his first major interview since being arrested and fingerprinted last week, cast doubt on whether Democrat Biden, 80, would be in the 2024 race.
“I don’t see how it’s possible,” he said.
“It’s not an age thing… I don’t think he can.
“I just don’t see Biden doing it from a physical or a mental standpoint. I don’t see it.”
Trump and other senior Republicans have repeatedly doubted Biden’s mental acuity and apparent frailty.
