Joe Biden says he's not 'the old guy'
by Steven Nelson
June 29, 2019 05:02 PM Joe Biden told donors in California he will not accept being branded "the old guy" following a Democratic debate where his age and opposition to past interracial school busing became issues.
Biden, 76, spoke at a Silicon Valley fundraiser where tickets ranged from $250 to $2,800, saying, "I refuse to accept, 'He's the old guy.' I refuse to accept the status quo."
The former vice president would be the oldest person elected president. At the debate Thursday, Rep. Eric Swalwell, 38, urged Biden to "pass the torch," while Sen. Kamala Harris blasted his opposition to federally mandated busing in the 1970s.
