President Biden Defends His Age And Experience: “Damn A Lot Of Wisdom” | Abroad

“I have more experience than anyone who has ever run for this office,” the Democrat stressed. “And I think I’ve proven myself to be both fair and effective.”

Biden entered the White House in 2021 as the oldest president ever. In late April, the Democrat announced that he would run for a second term in next year’s presidential election. In the election in a year and a half, Biden will be 81 years old. He would be 86 at the end of an eventual second term.

The grandfather of seven has been in politics for decades. He served in the Senate for more than 35 years. From 2009 to 2017, he served as Vice President to then US President Barack Obama, before becoming the highest office in the United States four years later.

Biden’s age and abilities as a presidential candidate have long been debated, including in his own party. The Democrat is regularly mocked because of his slips of the tongue.

On Friday, while appearing at the White House, Biden announced a “major press conference” for the afternoon, causing confusion. Nothing was known about a press conference by the president and it never took place. US media reported, citing the White House, that Biden had referred to the recording of the MSNBC interview in his announcement – and was thus mistaken. Political rivals regularly use these kinds of minor missteps to question Biden’s mental capabilities.

For the Republicans, former president Donald Trump, against whom Biden already ran an election campaign in 2020, is a candidate again. Biden then defeated the incumbent Republican. Without naming Trump, Biden now said, “We cannot allow the same man who was president four years ago to run for president again in this election.”

When asked what made him different from Trump, he replied, “Everything. Everything. Everything.”
