During a press conference with South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol in the Rose Garden, President Joe Biden fielded questions from a group of pre-selected mainstream media reporters. One reporter asked him if he was concerned about his advanced age after announcing his 2024 reelection campaign. Biden will be 82 at the next inauguration if he is re-elected.
Responding to the reporter’s question, Biden said, “With regard to age, I can’t even say I guess how old I am — I can’t even say the number. It doesn’t register with me.” Biden continued to reassure reporters and the public about his capabilities to serve as president and lead the country. “But he only thing I can say is that one of the things that people are going to find out is they’re going to see a race and they’re gonna judge whether or not I have it or don’t have it,” he said. “I feel good! I feel excited about the prospects.”
However, a recent NBC poll has shown that 70% of voters do not want Joe Biden to run for reelection because they think he is too old. Age has become a major concern for voters, and even the majority of Democrat voters don’t want Biden to run again. According to the poll, 53% of Biden’s own voters think he should not run again. And when Sanders or Warren’s voters in the 2020 primaries were surveyed, the number increased to 63%. Furthermore, a whopping 76% of voters under the age of 35 think Joe Biden should not run for president in 2024.
Despite these concerns, Biden has denied age as a factor and claimed that he identifies as a younger man. During his presidency, he has taken steps to ensure his physical fitness, such as riding a bike and engaging in other physical activities. With his reelection announcement, Biden seems determined to prove that age is just a number and that he has what it takes to continue leading the country.
