Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasnāt joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Bidenās age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnellās second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his āfriendā sounded like āhis old selfā and that such episodes are a āpart of his recoveryā from a fall and a concussion this year.
I think Trump is younger. Heās a monster, but still younger than Biden.
Yup, Biden is 3 years older than trump.
I donāt see any mental declineā¦ Biden has always been a gaffe machine and he has a stutter he struggles to suppress. Heās the same as ever.
While on the other side, Trump seems to be already through with his mental declineā¦
And Biden still jogs & bikes.
Trump doesnāt exercise which means his battery remains fuller than Biden, who frivolously depletes his battery through exercise. Humans have a finite amount of energy and you have to conserve it (this is an actual thing he believes.)
He might gaffe but heās not wrong lol
My mistake, edited. Ty!
Indeed, so if Trump was theoretically elected, heād be the oldest elected president of all time, beating Joe from 2020 lol.
Heās also wildly unhealthy, and if his lifestyle is to be believed, he probably shouldāve died years ago. The only thing keeping him going is fake tan, hair dye, and hate.
Biden is too old, but he at least looks somewhat healthy.
