Judge Judy Sheindlin claimed that President Joe Biden “probably” needs to take two naps a day based on his age.
Sheindlin has been stumping for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley in the past week, both by making a campaign appearance in New Hampshire on Sunday night, and in the form of an op-ed she wrote for the Daily Mail.
The infamous TV judge told CNN’s Dana Bash that she came out to support Haley because Biden is too old to run the country.
Both Sheindlin and Biden are the same age at 81-years-old, and she admitted to having to take a break every day while running her Amazon show Justice Judy.

“I need a nap in the afternoon,” She told Bash. “So does Joe Biden, probably two.”
On Wednesday, Sheindlin wrote an op-ed endorsing Haley, who is the only other political candidate she has ever publicly supported outside of Michael Bloomberg during the last presidential election.
In the article, the TV courtroom mainstay pointed out that Biden and former President Donald Trump at 77-years-old, might be too old to serve as commander-in-chief.
“We also all know that our next president will need extraordinary strength and stamina to handle the world’s most demanding job,” she stated, noting that Haley is far more youthful at “51 years young.”
“Let’s be honest here: I am 81 years old, and I run a successful business. I am considered the matriarch of a family of twenty. I work out every day and have an active social life,” Sheindlin wrote about her own jam-packed schedule.
The television personality maintained that while she has “strong opinions” about the nation, she doesn’t have the energy to run it.

“I would never have the chutzpah to tell you that I have the same stamina I had a decade ago, and surely not two decades ago,” she remarked.
“There’s plenty you can do in your 80s. Being President isn’t on the list.”
Elsewhere in the article, she blasted Biden’s track record on several fronts, noting that she’s “never seen greatness or anything close to it in his 53-year political career.”
Sheindlin said that during his time in office Biden has “actively encouraged illegal immigration,” which has left the nation “in chaos and on the brink of financial disaster.”
She mentioned that the U.S. is struggling with both a housing crisis and “punishing inflation,” while grappling with the notion that the “best days as a nation our behind us.”
Sheindlin also blamed Biden for getting the country involved in “horrific military conflicts” that we could have prevented.
“Do you really believe Biden has the focus and drive to solve any of these problems?” She questioned. “He created them in the first place!”
The television judge also attacked Trump for having “zero political experience” when he was elected in 2016.
“He is not a leader,” she penned. “A leader unites people, instead of dividing them. A leader protects the nation from chaos, instead of creating it.”
“A leader projects moral authority and sets ethical standards for our children and grandchildren,” she continued. “Donald Trump does none of what America needs in this critical moment.”
Sheindlin urged voters to “elect a candidate who can heal our national wounds,” by thinking like Americans, rather than as Republicans or Democrats.
“So don’t let Trump and Biden fool you. Neither of these men are up to the job and its relentless demands,” she concluded.
“Neither has the energy – let alone the vision – to bring us together and end the political wars that have torn us apart.”

Trump defeated Haley in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary on Tuesday night, beating her so brutally that the race was called for him with only 20% of the vote in.
Despite losing, she vowed to stay in the race. “New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last in the nation,” Haley told her supporters.
“This race is far from over. There are dozens of states left to go. And the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.”
