Hours before Biden’s viral Hollywood moment, Jill tried to fend off aging concerns: ‘Joe and the other guy are essentially the same age’
SUMMARY
Jill Biden recently sought to alleviate concerns about her husband's age during a campaign event targeting seniors in Phoenix on Saturday. She said that both Joe Biden, aged 81, and Trump, aged 78, are similar in age. Her remarks come amid heightened scrutiny over President Biden's mental sharpness, fueled by recent widely shared moments, including a Hollywood fundraiser, in which President Biden was escorted offstage by Barack Obama. Despite these efforts to reassure the public, polls continue to reflect doubts about Biden's cognitive abilities. The event was part of Jill Biden's broader "Seniors for Biden-Harris" tour, with the Biden reelection campaign shifting focus to securing support from older voters crucial to the upcoming election.
