“I think that’s absolutely a legitimate concern,” the governor said. “The presidency’s not a job for someone that’s 80 years old, and there’s nothing wrong with being 80 obviously. I’m the governor of Florida. I know a lot of people who are elderly. They’re great people.”

“But you’re talking about a job where you need to give it 100 percent. We need an energetic president,” he continued. “And I think that if the founders could kind of look at this again, I do think they probably would have put an age limit on some of these offices.”

“It seems like our leadership class now in Washington, 75, 80, 80+ years old, is where those folks are and I think Americans … are gonna want to see a generational passing of the torch,” he concluded.
