Joe Biden launched an election advert criticizing Donald Trump and joking about his age: “I’m not a young guy, it’s true”

Joe Biden, 81, has just launched another campaign advert for the US presidential election. She did it with a piece that she spread on social media and which has Donald Trump between her eyebrows. And also he joked about his age, one of the points that the opposition calls into question. “Look, I’m not a young guy, it’s not a secret,” the current president of the United States emphasized, smiling.

“I’m not a young guy, that’s no secret. But I propose an agreement. “I know how things are done for the people of the United States,” are the first words of the audiovisual piece, which will now begin to circulate on social networks and on television.

Biden, wearing a white sweater and blue sweatshirt, looks at the camera. Behind, out of focus, a United States flag. The president keeps his smile as the archive images appear. The management of the pandemic, his support for abortion and the questioning of Trump (77 years old) are the topics addressed in the one-minute spot.

“I led the country during the Covid crisis. Today we have the strongest economy in the world. I presented a project that lowers the price of medicines. It puts a cap of 35 dollars a month on the price of insulin for elderly patients” , continues the Democratic candidate.

Then comes the first criticism of his predecessor. “For four years, Donald Trump has tried to pass an infrastructure bill, and he has failed,” Biden says, looking at images of the Republican mogul clumsily manipulating that bill’s bibliography.

“I did it,” he sticks out his chest and differs from his predecessor, who found himself with a paved path after the loss of his last internal rival, Nikki Haley.

“Now we are rebuilding the United States. I introduced the greatest bill in history to fight climate change, because our future depends on it,” he said on another issue that opens a gap with Trumpism.

And he continued with another attack on the tycoon, in this case for abortion. “Donald Trump has taken away women’s freedom of choice. I am determined to make Roe v. Wade the law of the land again,” she said, referring to the paradigmatic case of abortion, which the Republican opposed.

Then he returns to office and polarizes with his main competitor for the 2024 presidential election. “Donald Trump believes that the president’s job is to take care of Donald Trump,” he says as his predecessor is seen driving a golf cart, with the cap of Make America great again. “I believe the president’s job is to fight for you, the American people. That’s what I’m doing.”

It ends with a photo of Biden smiling at a campaign event and the Biden-Harris legend superimposed. But it is a false ending, because after a sudden cut to black there is an encore.

Health and memory problems, Biden’s latest joke

“Can we do another take?” he asks a voiceover. And the camera turns back on.

“Look, I’m young, energetic and beautiful… “What am I doing this for?” Biden jokes again about his age, before closing with laughter.

So he joked about the main suspicions about his health, after a prosecutor spoke of “limited memory” in early February, triggering a political earthquake and strengthening calls for him to renounce his re-election bid.

The current president of the United States had published his first election advert on January 6, on the third anniversary of the assault on the Capitol by Trumpist militants who tried to prevent his presidential inauguration.

The advert, titled “Causa”, warned of the “extremist” threat to democracy, with images of the building being invaded. “All of us are now asking: What are we going to do to maintain our democracy?,” Biden said in that first piece.

“Something dangerous is happening in the United States: There is an extremist movement that does not share the fundamental principles of our democracy,” he added in the piece, also a minute long.
