Trump has previously stated that Biden&#8217;s age is \u200bnot the main reason that\u2063 he should not be reelected, but rather,\u2064 that Biden \u2062is \u200bcrooked, mentally incompetent, and possibly\u2064 plagued by\u200d early-onset\u200d dementia.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally,\u2062 Trump has \u2062publicly said that he knows and has known many \u2063intelligent and quick-witted people\u2064 who are still going strong in their \u200b80s and 90s, however, Biden is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u200c a White House advisory, Biden \u2062will &#8220;discuss the urgent \u2062need to pass\u200b the Senate bipartisan border security \u2063agreement&#8221; at meetings with local elected officials, law enforcement, and U.S. Border Patrol\u2064 officers while in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday at the White\u2064 House, Biden will also have a \u2062high-stakes meeting with key \u2062congressional leaders to &#8220;discuss the border, prevent a government shutdown, and approve extra funds for Ukraine,&#8221; an\u200b insider told the press. \u2064  <\/p>\n<p>During his \u2062conversation with Meyers, Biden regularly criticized Trump, bringing up the former president only minutes after Meyers \u2063had questioned \u2062him about \u2064infrastructure.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;The last guy had&#8230;he had infrastructure week&#8230; every week,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;But&#8230;\u2062 we actually got\u200c it done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;I mean, what are we talking about\u2064 here? \u2063What in \u200dGod&#8217;s name?\u2062 The idea that&#8230; the president of the United States is inviting \u200dVladimir Putin to invade &#8230; Western countries?

This move \u200bcomes in response to critics\u2062 who have \u2062suggested that Biden&#8217;s own\u2064 advanced \u200cage could be \u2064a disadvantage\u200c in the upcoming race.<\/p>\n<p>During\u2064 the interview, \u200d81-year-old Biden responded to \u2064his critics by stating, &#8220;You got to take a look at the other guy,&#8221; alluding to\u200b 77-year-old Trump. He \u200dfurther referenced a recent CPAC event\u200c where \u2064Trump critics claimed that he called his wife &#8220;Mercedes&#8221; instead of her actual name. However, Trump&#8217;s campaign team maintained that he was referencing\u2064 Mercedes Schlapp, a\u200d political commentator and the wife of \u2064CPAC organizer chair Matt Schlapp.<\/p>\n<p>Biden emphasized that voters should consider a candidate&#8217;s \u200cideas rather than \u200ctheir\u2062 age. He criticized Trump\u2064 for wanting \u2064to take the country back\u200b on issues \u2062like Roe\u200c v.\u200d Wade and for holding positions that have been solid American positions for 50 to 60\u2064 years.<\/p>\n<p>The interview\u200b took place shortly after the White House announced\u2062 that Biden\u2063 would \u2062be\u200d visiting the Southern \u2064border and Trump \u200bis scheduled to \u200ctravel to Eagle Pass, Texas. This comes after Trump&#8217;s recent win in the \u200dSouth Carolina Republican primary, which \u200bboosted \u200dhis campaign for the\u2063 party&#8217;s presidential nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously stated that Biden&#8217;s age\u2064 is not the main reason he should not be reelected, but rather that Biden is crooked, mentally \u200dincompetent, and possibly suffering\u2064 from\u200d early-onset dementia. Trump\u2064 also pointed out that there are many \u200dintelligent and quick-witted people in their 80s and 90s, \u200bbut Biden is not\u2064 one of them.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Biden criticized\u2063 Trump on various topics,\u200d including infrastructure and his approach to \u200bforeign policy. He highlighted the fact that while the previous administration talked about\u2063 infrastructure week every week, his administration actually got it done. Biden \u200dexpressed concern over the \u2063idea \u2063that the President\u2064 of the United States is inviting Vladimir Putin \u200dto invade Western countries, describing it as bizarre and against the country&#8217;s interests.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming days, \u2062Biden will be\u2062 discussing border security and meeting with \u200ckey \u200bcongressional\u2062 leaders to address the border situation, prevent a government shutdown, and approve\u200d extra\u2064 funds for\u2062 Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>This interview and Biden&#8217;s\u2063 shift\u200c in messaging may indicate a significant change in his\u2062 approach to countering his political opponent. As\u2064 the race \u2063continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Biden&#8217;s age and\u200b his focus on Trump&#8217;s age will impact their campaigns and the overall political\u2062 landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Joe Biden enjoyed an ice cream cone at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in New York City after appearing on &#8220;Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1866,"featured_media":2188154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-2033880223.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[542],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2188153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oann"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-2033880223.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1866"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2188153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2188154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2188153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2188153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2188153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
