He assures that the weight of the years is not a problem for his functions. US President Joe Biden, 80, who is running for a second term in 2024believes that his age has allowed him to accumulate a lot of “wisdom”, which makes him a major asset.
“I have accumulated a lot of wisdom and I know more than the vast majority of people,” he told a reporter on Friday. MSNBC, which broadcast excerpts of this interview in advance, the first granted to the press by the American president since he officially launched his campaign. “I have more experience than anyone who has ever come forward. And I feel I’ve proven that I’m a man of honor and someone efficient,” said Joe Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term.
“Building Bridges”
Democrat Joe Biden has so far rarely addressed the issue of his age, considered his main handicap with voters, except to joke about it occasionally. In 2024, he could face the Republican again Donald Trumpnow 76 years old.
In the race against the Republicans, Joe Biden also deplored the rather “negative” coverage that would be made of his mandate. He sees it as a way to get more audiences rather than dwelling on the positives. He then insisted on his guideline: “building bridges in society”. For him, “this work has only just begun”.
He also had a word about his absence at the coronation of Charles III, in London (United Kingdom), this Saturday. “It’s a good acquaintance and we have worked together on environmental issues.” Critics have emerged over Biden’s absence. Now, at the last coronation, that of Elizabeth IIin 1953, US President Dwight Eisenhower also sent a delegation and did not come himself.
