Since his election as head of UNITED STATES of America, the age of Joe Biden – 80 years all the same – continues to feed the comments, whether humorous spades or severe criticism. And now the man has decided to run again in 2024, which would push his departure to the retirement at 86, an age when you imagine yourself making homemade strawberry jam more than leading the world’s leading power.
At the gala dinner for the correspondents of the White House this Saturday, a few days after the announcement of his candidacy, the opportunity was too good for the comedians present to make the link between this canonical age and the demonstrations against pension reform in France. Thus, the comedian of the “Daily Show” Roy Wood Jr quipped: “The French revolted because they did not want to work until they were 64. Meanwhile, in America, we have an 80-year-old man begging us to work four more years,” prompting a broad smile from the head of state.
“I am a man of first youth”
“Call me old – I call that seasoned,” the president replied. “They say I’m an elder – I say I’m wise. They say I’m not very young anymore – Don Lemon would say I’m a man of first youth”.
Don Lemon, a star presenter of CNNwas recently fired by the channel after sparking controversy by declaring that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, was “no longer young”.
