Haley: Are we really in this country going to have two 80-year-olds running for president?

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Nikki Haley kicked off her morning with the first of four interviews on CBS Mornings. She talked about the border crisis, the state of the race, and Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's mental acuity. Check it out below.

On the mental decline of Biden and Trump:

"Are we really in this country going to have two 80-year-olds running for president? It is a fact that when you are their age, you have mental decline. I don't care who you are, you have mental decline. He didn't just get me confused, he mentioned it over and over and over again. He's not what he was in 2016, he has declined. That's a fact. Joe Biden has declined in the two years since he's been president. The party that goes and puts a new generational leader in is the party that will win. That's why I'm running. I don't want my kids to live like this. If you're going to have eight solid years, you can't put a guy in their 80s in there to go to."
