Watch: KJP’s Absurd Take on Biden’s Age: ’80 is the New 40′
Concerns about President Joe Biden’s age became a laughing matter at Friday’s White House media briefing.
In August, an AP-NORC poll found that 77 percent of people responding said Biden, 80, is too old to get four more years in office. The poll said that sentiment was shared by 89 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of Democrats.
Likewise, a Wall Street Journal poll found 73 percent of voters saying Biden is too old, while only 47 percent said the same of Trump, who is just three years younger at 77.
Additionally, a Quinnipiac poll showed 68 percent of voters rated Biden as too old but only 34 percent said the same of Trump.
With that as the background, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Friday how Biden plans to change that mindset.
“ 80 is a new 40”.
According to Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden demonstrates high efficiency and “achieves results.”

“You know, I get asked this question about once a week, maybe twice a week. I don’t know. I’ve lost track,” she said. “This is a president, if you think about it — in 2019, he got the same criticism; in 2020, he got the same criticism; in 2022, he got the same criticism.
“And every time, he beats the naysayers. Every time, he does above and beyond and makes history in doing that — that others are not able to — others are not able to do, right? And I think that’s really important, too.”
She added: “And so, you know, I get the — I get the question on age. Certainly, we all do. But what we’re going to continue to talk about is the record that this president has had. It’s been a historic record.”
Asked why Americans feel Biden is too old given Jean-Pierre’s claim of accomplishments, she replied, “You know, I can’t speak to every American out there and their concerns.”
“What I can speak to is what this President has done, right? I can speak to his experience. I could speak to the wisdom that he has. I can speak to his record,” she said.
“When it comes to — when it comes to how Americans — what they’re saying about your particular question to me, that’s for them to speak to. I can just stay on — on our message — the platform that we’re trying to push forward, and that is delivering for the American people. We believe that we’re doing that,” she added.
NBC sought to uncover the difference in perception despite the slight difference in age between Biden and Trump by asking some Iowa residents.
“Trump just comes off as a much younger person. Just the way he speaks, the way he walks. Just everything he does,” Renee King said.
“He’s more into social media,” Jane Story said. “I mean, anybody has to learn with the times. And I just feel as though Trump has moved with the times and Biden has not.”
Biden befuddled some Sunday when asked about the fact that the G20 nations did not come to a consensus on fossil fuels, according to the Daily Mail.
“And the Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the Union soldier and says, ‘He’s a lying dog-faced pony soldier.’ Well, there’s a lot of lying dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming. But not anymore,” Biden said.
“All of the sudden, they’re all realizing it’s a problem,” he whispered in the mic.

How did White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre address concerns about President Biden’s age during the media briefing
Ed.
Age has always been a topic of discussion when it comes to political leaders, and President Joe Biden is no exception. At 80 years old, concerns about his age have become a subject of debate and speculation. Recent polls have shed light on public opinion regarding this matter, with a significant percentage of respondents expressing doubts about Biden’s ability to serve another four years in office.
An AP-NORC poll conducted in August revealed that 77 percent of the respondents believed that Biden is too old to continue his tenure. This sentiment was shared by 89 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of Democrats. Similarly, a poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal reported that 73 percent of voters considered Biden too old, while only 47 percent held the same opinion about his predecessor, Donald Trump, who is three years younger than Biden at 77. Additionally, a Quinnipiac poll showed that 68 percent of voters believed Biden was too old, compared to only 34 percent who thought the same of Trump.
These statistics provide a backdrop for the concerns raised during Friday’s White House media briefing. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about how President Biden plans to address the prevalent perception of his age. In her response, Jean-Pierre emphasized Biden’s efficiency and ability to deliver results. She highlighted that throughout his political career, Biden has consistently proven his critics wrong and achieved remarkable accomplishments that others have not been able to replicate.
Furthermore, Jean-Pierre acknowledged the question of age and the concerns it raises among Americans but focused on emphasizing Biden’s record and experience. She underlined his wisdom and the historic achievements that he has attained throughout his tenure. However, when pressed about why Americans still view Biden as too old despite his accomplishments, Jean-Pierre acknowledged that she could not speak for every American and their concerns.
Moving forward, Jean-Pierre reiterated the administration’s commitment to delivering for the American people and staying focused on their message and platform. She expressed confidence in their ability to address the needs and aspirations of the American public.
The concerns about President Biden’s age may continue to be subjects of discussion and debate. However, the administration remains undeterred, emphasizing the President’s track record and experience as indications of his ability to lead the nation effectively. While public opinion may vary, the ultimate judgment lies in the hands of the American people and their assessment of President Biden’s performance and leadership abilities.
