Biden’s campaign manager touts his busy schedule amid age concerns

President Biden’s campaign manager is boasting about the president’s busy schedule as voters express concerns about his age.

Julie Chavez Rodriguez responded to a video of Democratic voters expressing concerns about Biden’s mental health, pointing to the president’s busy schedule as evidence he has a second term left.

“I think it’s important that the president continues to show what he’s working on every day. The recent trip he took overseas to participate in the G20 shows what kind of schedule he continues to keep and how he “I think it’s a perfect example of continuing to work hard for our people and the fact that he continues to show really strong, steady leadership at every turn,” she said. said on the CBS program.America decides”

“It helps protect democracy not only at home but also abroad,” she added. “So many people have taken notice of him and his leadership, and he continues to really step up and continue to show up both here at home and on the international stage.”

The White House and Biden’s reelection campaign are stepping up efforts to address concerns about whether the 80-year-old is fit to run for president again. The White House thanked Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy after he cited Biden’s grueling work schedule while in Asia last week.

“He was basically working all night,” Doocy said, speaking from Hanoi, Vietnam, where Biden met with the country’s leaders. “It’s the equivalent of an all-nighter Eastern time. So he’s probably pretty tired and jet-lagged as well.”

“Thank you, Peter,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote on Platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The White House has previously criticized the media for fixating on Biden’s age, with aides attacking headlines criticizing Biden’s age and again citing it as a reason why he could serve another term. He pointed out his schedule.

Despite efforts to allay voter concerns that Biden is too old for the top job, more than three-quarters of Americans say they are too old for Biden, according to a YouGov and Yahoo News poll. I think it’s a problem to some extent. Voters are less likely to say they are concerned about Trump’s age, the poll found, despite the age difference of several years from former President Donald Trump’s age of 77.
