White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defends President Biden’s age and mental acuity, emphasizing his experience, expertise, and accomplishments as assets that outweigh concerns about his age.
She highlighted his productivity and relationships with global leaders as reasons to support his leadership.
A reporter said, “A new ABC News Ipsos poll shows that 86 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve another term. That is a higher percentage than what we found in a previous poll in September. So clearly, polling shows this as a persistent issue.”
KJP: “President Biden does more in one hour than most people do in a day.”
Also KJP: He has nothing on his schedule tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday

“What is the White House strategy to try and change that perception?” asked the reporter.
Jean-Pierre replied, “So look, we’re going to continue to lead on leadership, right? We’re going to continue to focus on what this president has been able to get done, what the president has been able to get done on behalf of the American people. And look, I’ll quote a little bit of what the First Lady said, I think incredibly well, just a couple days ago.”
“President Biden does more in one hour than most people do in a day. His age, with experience and expertise is an incredible asset and he proves it every day and that’s what we believe. We believe that his age and his experience, because he was a senator, because he was obviously Vice President because he has these long decades of relationships with leaders obviously across the globe and what he’s been able to do, that’s what we’re going to lean into,” she continued.
“That’s what we’re going to speak to,” added the press secretary.
