#shorts On 4/25/2023, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “One more question about that. The issue of the President is 80 years old — oldest man ever elected, would be 86 at the end of his second term. Our CBS News poll this morning shows that only 22 percent of Democratic-leaning voters are excited about the prospect of President Biden running for reelection.

I want to ask you this: As a young man, when he was coming of age, a President who was inaugurated in 1961 said it was time to — that a torch had been passed to a new generation. Why has President Biden not decided to pass the torch at this point? Why does he still want to hold it?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … you know, when it comes to age, it’s the same thing that we heard in 2020. Right? We heard that over and over in 2020. And — and if you look at what the President has done this past two years, he’s been able to deliver and get things done — right? — where Republicans are trying to — Republicans in Congress, Republicans on the other side of Pennsylvania are trying to pull us back, not move us forward.

… you know — you know, Republicans in Congress have not. They literally have not been able to get things done. And so, I want to be very clear about that.
