Fox News host Maria Bartiromo turned to Ben Carson to ask if President Joe Biden would live to see the 2024 election. During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Carson claimed that Americans "don't have leadership." "Well, you have somebody who's impaired with the nuclear codes in charge of the military, in charge of the safety of the people of our country," Carson said.
