Sen. Murphy on Biden’s Age: ‘80-Years Old Is Not Slowing Joe Biden Down, He’s Doing a Pretty Exceptional Job’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “Well, I read that poll too, and I just think we have to do a better job of explaining to the American people the job that Joe Biden is doing. Listen, I think it would be legitimate to question any candidate’s age if there is evidence that that is having a bearing on the quality of the job that is being done. But we are in a full employment economy, with wages growing, we have a reputation that is improving all around the world. Joe Biden has an unparalleled streak of legislative successes even on the toughest issues out there like guns. I just don’t think there is evidence to show that Joe Biden isn’t doing the job. In fact, there’s evidence to suggest that he’s getting more achievement and accomplishment than any other first-term president in our political lifetime. So, yeah, I get it, that people register in these polls a concern about a candidate’s age when they hit the age that the president has been in this case, 80 years old is not slowing Joe Biden down. He’s doing a pretty exceptional job and we just have to explain that to the American people.”
