ABC News George Stephanopoulos Apologizes for Biden Interview Mistake

Journalist Says He Regrets Talking to Passerby

Anchor George Stephanopoulos apologized Tuesday for telling a stranger that he doesn't think President Biden is running for reelection.

The apology came after Stephanopoulos was caught on tape making the comment to a passerby while he was walking into the White House on Friday. Stephanopoulos was interviewing Biden at the time, and he later said that he was "not referring to the President" when he made the comment.

"I regret the confusion that my comments have caused," Stephanopoulos said in a statement. "I should have been more clear in my language, and I apologize to the President and to our viewers."

Stephanopoulos' apology comes as the Biden administration is facing criticism for its handling of the economy and other issues. The President's approval ratings have been dropping in recent months, and some Democrats have said that they do not think he will run for reelection in 2024.

The White House has not commented on Stephanopoulos' apology or on the speculation about Biden's political future. However, the President has said that he intends to run for reelection in 2024.
