President Biden’s principal deputy campaign manager, when pressed about the commander in chief's mental sharpness, argued the 2024 election "is not going to be about age."

"When it comes to the president’s age, we have a simple formula for that, and that’s results," Quentin Fulks told ABC's "This Week" host Martha Raddatz. "And you know, age equals wisdom, equals results and experience. And President Biden, because of his age, has come to the table and brought people together from both sides of the aisle to deliver results for the American people, whether it be a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, whether it has been bringing people to the table for job creation, making sure that inflation is down – the president has been delivering results, and our best answer to this is to continue to communicate about the things that people care about, Americans care about."

"This election is not going to be about age," Fulks added. "This election is about freedom and democracy, and the fact that Democrats under President Biden’s leadership believe that people deserve more freedom, not less. And Republicans want to roll that back and rip it away."

According to a new ABC News/Ipso poll conducted Jan. 4-8, 69% of respondents do not think Biden has the mental sharpness to be president – up from just 43% in May 2020.
