Jon back in the seat during this important election season is a public service.
“We have two candidates who are chronologically outside the norm of anyone who has run for the presidency in this country, in the history of this country,” Stewart said of the 81-year-old Biden and 77-year-old Trump. “They are the oldest people ever to run for president — breaking by only four years the record that they set the last time they ran!” Stewart exclaimed.
“We’re not suggesting neither man is vibrant, productive or even capable,” Stewart said.
“What’s crazy is thinking that we are the ones as voters who must silence concerns and criticisms. It is the candidates’ job to assuage concerns — not the voters’ job not to mention them.”
While Biden “isn’t Donald Trump,” Stewart said, mentioning the 45th president’s multiple indictments and legal cases against him, “the stakes of this election don’t make Donald Trump’s opponent less subject to scrutiny.”
“It actually makes him more subject to scrutiny,” Stewart said.
“If your guy loses, bad things might happen, but the country is not over. And if your guy wins, the country is in no way saved.”
“So the good news is: I’m not saying you don’t have to worry about who wins the election,” Stewart concluded.
“I’m saying you have to worry about every day before it, and every day after, forever.”
