Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren<\/a> struggled to defend her past praise <\/strong>of President Joe Biden\u2019s “sharp” mind in a new interview, equivocating that she believed it at the time.<\/p>\n

Warren appeared on the “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso<\/a>” podcast on Sunday where the left-leaning host asked whether she regretted saying Biden “had a sharpness to him” up until he dropped out of the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

“I said what I believed to be true,” Warren said.<\/p>\n

“You think he was as sharp as you?” Fragoso pushed back.<\/p>\n

SEN ELIZABETH WARREN: SOCIAL SECURITY IS UNDER ATTACK. GUTTING IT IS A BROKEN PROMISE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Warren gave a long pause where she appeared to hold back a laugh at the question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I said I had not seen decline,” she finally responded<\/a>, turning her head and giving Fragoso a pointed look that he then reciprocated. “And I hadn\u2019t at that point.”<\/p>\n

Fragoso pressed Warren further, expressing skepticism over her not seeing any decline in Biden during his time in office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The thing is,” Warren began uncertainly. “Look, he was sharp. He was on his feet. I saw him… live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times…”<\/p>\n

“Senator, \u2018on his feet\u2019 is not praise,” Fragoso argued. “‘He can speak in sentences’ is not praise.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Warren seemed to softly laugh at his comments while replying, “Fair enough.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Warren for additional comment.<\/p>\n

Warren defended Biden\u2019s “sharpness” last year when interviewer Hasan Minhaj mocked Biden\u2019s age on a podcast recorded before Biden\u2019s infamous presidential debate<\/a> against President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

“I talk to the man,” Warren said<\/a>. “The man is sharp. The man knows what he\u2019s talking about. He does the job. I think people ask about age, they\u2019ve got every right. Look, voters can ask about anything they want. They can make any decisions based on anything they want. That’s the deal.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS FRETTED BEHIND THE SCENES ABOUT BIDEN’S DECLINE DESPITE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE, NEW BOOK CLAIMS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

She continued, “It’s a sharpness and a pointedness about what he is trying to accomplish and to me, I get it. It’s like messaging. You can have other issues you want to look at, but the heart of it is what does he deliver. He is delivering.”<\/p>\n

After the debate, Warren was less certain<\/a> in her defense of Biden, repeating on MSNBC in July that he was “our nominee” but added that he had a “big decision to make” over whether he should stay in the race.<\/p>\n

Biden dropped out<\/a> of the race one day after her MSNBC interview.<\/p>\n
