REPORT: White House To Downplay Biden’s Birthday To Not Remind Voters How Old He Is

President Joe Biden will celebrate his 80th birthday party on Nov. 20 at the White House in a celebration that is being described as subdued, White House sources told Politico Tuesday.

Biden will become the first president to hold office as an octogenarian, a day that White House aides are reportedly trying to downplay, according to Politico. He was the oldest president ever elected, being 77 on Election Day in 2020 and 78 on inauguration day in 2021, topping his predecessor Donald Trump who was inaugurated at 70.

Biden’s birthday will come 12 days after the midterm elections, where Democrats are expected to lose control of the House, posing major obstacles to Biden’s efforts to enact his agenda ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Biden’s 80th birthday comes as questions swirl about his mental acuity and ability to seek reelection in 2024, which he has said he plans to do. Republicans have frequently pointed out speech mistakes and moments of forgetfulness as evidence that Biden is incapable of doing his job.

Eighty is the new 79.

[LMAO]

It’s not only his age. The problem he has is his obvious cognitive decline

Eighty is the new 79.

Joe thinks he's Jack Benny.  "Oh' Rochester"  Fetch me my pudding.

[corbe]

   I've been doing that for the last 50 years (not celebrating my birthday). 
   Everyone still calls me an old fool, much to my chagrin.

If they don't want us to consider his age, perhaps they should put him back in his basement in Delaware and not let him speak at all. Every time he opens his mouth, he reminds us of his cognitive impairments, age-related or otherwise.
