First Lady Jill Biden advocated for President Joe Biden’s age, describing him as a “healthy, wise 81-year-old” and emphasizing that age is a gift.
She highlighted the importance of character in leadership, contrasting Biden’s age with his effectiveness as president.
“This isn’t just about stopping an extremist, and this election is most certainly not about age,” Jill Biden said. “Joe and that other guy are essentially the same age. Let’s not be fooled. But what this election is about, it’s about the character of the person leading our country.”

Jill Biden launched the “Seniors for Biden” campaign targeting voters aged 65 and over, promoting Joe Biden as capable and committed to improving the future.
Amid concerns about Joe Biden’s mental health, Jill Biden defended his capabilities and experience.
“Joe Biden is a healthy, wise 81-year-old ready and willing to work for you every day to make our future better,” she said. “Joe isn’t one of the most effective presidents of our lives in spite of his age but because of it.”
She emphasized the value of age and experience, urging voters not to be defined by numbers and asserting the strength and wisdom that come with age.
The “woman I am today is wiser, stronger, more insightful, and more confident than I was all those years ago,” Jill said.
“Every line on my face has been earned by the furrowed brows of difficult decisions made, by the sun of countless roads traveled, by the sweet strain of deep laughter with the people I love. Age is a gift,” she added.
Trump is “dangerous to our livelihoods, to our security, and the future of our country.”
“And when people underestimate us, they do it at their own risk,” Jill said in reference to elderly individuals. “Let’s show what these years can do.”
