“Too old, not fit to be president”
In a recent speech, Joe Biden sarcastically criticized his opponent, Donald Trump, stating that he is “too old, not fit to be president.” These remarks come as President Biden and his campaign are shifting their focus towards exposing the vulnerabilities of Donald Trump.
The Age Factor
Both candidates, Trump (77 years old) and Biden (81 years old), have secured enough delegates to become the official candidates for their respective parties. However, a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed that 86% of American voters believe Joe Biden is too old to handle another term as president.
A Strong Message
Earlier this month, President Biden delivered a powerful State of the Union address, dispelling any doubts held by his supporters. “Even the press had to admit, I shattered it. I had such low expectations, I just had to show up and show them who the president is,” Biden stated, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Gridiron Club
The Gridiron Club, an organization consisting mainly of journalists in Washington, held its annual dinner on the evening of March 16th. While traditionally a relaxed and humorous event, filming and photography are strictly prohibited. It is customary for every U.S. president to attend at least one of these dinners. President Biden made his first appearance at this event during his presidency.
Serious Concerns
President Biden addressed the serious threats facing democracy and freedom, stating, “We are living in unprecedented times – times when democracy and freedom are under literal attack. President Putin is marching in Europe. My predecessor bowed to him and said, ‘Do whatever you want.'” Biden listed a series of concerns that he has addressed, such as the Capitol riot on January 6th, 2021, and efforts to undermine the 2020 election, which he described as “the greatest threat to American democracy” since the Civil War.
Protecting Democracy
Biden warned, “A poison is coursing through the veins of our democracy.” He emphasized the crucial role that a free press plays in safeguarding the long-term existence of American democracy. “Let me be clear: You are not the enemy of the people. You are the backbone of any free society,” Biden conveyed to the journalists present at the Gridiron Club event.
As President Biden continues his term, addressing these concerns and working towards the betterment of the nation remains his top priority. The future of American democracy rests in the hands of its citizens and the institutions that support it.
