CNN Anchor Stunned to Learn Bill Clinton Is Younger Than Both Trump and Biden: He’s ‘In The Distant Past’

 

CNN anchor Erin Burnett marveled at the fact that former President Bill Clinton is younger than both Donald Trump and Joe Biden while discussing a jab from Nikki Haley last night at Trump’s age.

CNN host Abby Phillip kicked off the discussion by saying, “You know, as Nikki Haley put it, I think it’s actually it’s such a smart way to put it. Maybe the first person to, like the first party to let go of their 80-year-old might be the victor, but who’s going to be the one to move first?”

“And I think that’s where, that’s where we are as a country. And that’s why this is kind of such an intractable problem. Nobody wants Trump, nobody wants Biden, but nobody wants to be the very the first to walk away from either,” Phillip added.

“So there was a post today on social media, Manu, that caught my attention. This guy Meb Faber comes out and he says, and it was actually really interesting. Bill Clinton was president, what, 25 years ago, 24 years ago? He’s technically younger than either Biden or Trump now,” replied Burnett.

“Yeah. That’s incredible,” replied Congressional correspondent Manu Raju.

“And I just think it gives a little perspective. By the way, I went to check the birth dates just to make sure. Right. August ’46. Trump, of course, was Flag Day ’46. So it is true. But it is really amazing when you think about it, right? Bill Clinton is in the distant past. He’s younger today than either of the two people who are likely to be the next president,” Burnett added.

“It is pretty remarkable,” Raju agreed.
