Stephanopoulos, then off-camera, is captured on blurred audio responding that he doesn’t think he “can do four more years.”
In a statement Tuesday night, Stephanopoulos acknowledged that he was the person seen in the video. “Earlier today, I answered a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.”
An ABC spokeswoman said Stephanopoulos was “expressing his own views and not the position of ABC News.”
The remarks come days after the pivotal interview with Biden, in which Stephanopoulos firmly asked the 46th president whether he could serve another term following a shaky debate performance.
When Biden claimed he had the stamina for another term, Stephanopoulos pressed him: “Are you sure you’re being honest with yourself when you say you have the mental and physical capacity to serve four more years?”
Biden claimed he did.
