Biden con­cedes to donors ‘a lot of peo­ple’ are ‘focused on my age’

Pres­i­dent Joe Biden acknowl­edged to donors the con­cerns reflect­ed in pub­lic polling regard­ing his 80 years of age.
“A lot of peo­ple seem focused on my age,” the pres­i­dent told donors on Mon­day dur­ing a Broad­way for Biden fundrais­er in New York City. “I get it, believe me. I know it more than any­one.”

But Biden remained adamant he “knew what to do” when the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic emerged, when Rus­sia invad­ed Ukraine, and when democ­ra­cy was under­mined by for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump, accord­ing to pool reports.
“That’s why I’m run­ning,” the pres­i­dent said at Lunt-Fontanne The­atre. “We will have saved Amer­i­can democ­ra­cy. I am more opti­mistic about the future of this coun­try than in the 800 years I’ve served.”
Biden sim­i­lar­ly allud­ed to his age dur­ing a sep­a­rate fundrais­er host­ed by the Biden Vic­to­ry Fund’s Black Eco­nom­ic Alliance.
“As a Unit­ed States sen­a­tor for 360 years, 36 years, I always had great rela­tion­ships,” the pres­i­dent said at the St. Reg­is New York. “I’m look­ing for­ward to this cam­paign because we’ve got a sto­ry to tell, a record to run on, and a nation to save. That’s not hyper­bole,” he added ear­li­er.
