Terry Moran says network rejected his Biden health story after he witnessed president’s frailty

Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran revealed Monday that he tried to report on concerns about then-President Joe Biden's declining health — but was promptly shut down by senior leadership at the network.

"In late 2023, early 2024, you know, it was pretty clear that Biden was fading rather quickly," Moran told The Daily Beast podcast.

"I had actually traveled with him to Japan in the spring of 2023 and kind of eyeballed him there, and I thought, 'Okay, he’s still functioning, but man, he’s frail.’ He looked like he’d blow away in a stiff wind." Moran added that the now-83-year-old former president’s voice was merely a "whisper" by his final year in office.

"And I got shut down very hard." Moran said he sent an email pitch to his editors for a story about Biden’s declining health "gently and as respectfully" as possible.

"It was like, ‘You know, this is [a] legit issue for Americans to be interested in,’" Moran said.

"I'm not a doctor.

I'm not diagnosing.

But we all know what we know when we see people fading.

We all have had grandparents.

We're all getting old ourselves.

And so there's no doubt about it, this is a legitimate concern for the voters of America."

Fox News Digital reached out to ABC News for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Moran — a veteran correspondent at the outlet — left ABC News following a social media post in which he attacked President Donald Trump and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Moran called Trump and Miller "world-class haters" in the now-deleted post on X.
