Biden Jokes About His Age-related Publications

U.S. President Joe Biden joked about his age while speaking at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner, referring to himself as a man in the prime of his life. A segment of his speech was reported by the Washington Post, with the context provided by lenta.ru.

The 80-year-old leader referenced a piece in the New York Times that stated the politician's age is a significant concern. He acknowledged that the topic of age is entirely justified. "I understand that the issue of age is completely valid. It's on everyone's mind. When I say 'everyone,' I mean the New York Times," he stated.

Biden then assured the audience that he is still full of strength. "They say I'm not what I used to be. But [reporter] Don Lemon would say that's a man in his prime," he quipped.
