Joe Biden jokes about his age in new ad: ‘I’m very young, energetic and handsome’

President Joe Biden is seen joking about his age in a new advertisement for his re-election campaign. “Look, I’m not a young guy.

That’s no secret,” Biden says, smiling and looking into the camera. “But here’s the deal: I understand how to get things done for the American people.”

The 81-year-old president then lists what he accomplished in his first term, including how he handled the pandemic, capped insulin prices for older people, and passed infrastructure legislation. He makes a contrast of his record with that of Donald Trump, accusing him of taking away “the freedom of women to choose” in reproductive matters.

A recent special counsel’s report referred to Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” He has come under the spotlight several times for his gaffes, mixing up names of people, and struggling to recall simple words.

In the recent ad, a voice off-camera asks Biden to do one more take after the announcement that he had approved the message. “Look, I’m very young, energetic and handsome. What the hell am I doing this for?” Mr. Biden then says, with a grin on his face. The screen then goes black.
