Joe Biden’s speech lasted only ten minutes, but it attracted attention in the United States. In it, he joked about his predecessor and opponent, Donald Trump, at this year’s regular dinner with reporters who cover events in the White House.
The 81-year-old American president has repeatedly commented on his age. “Age is a big issue in this campaign. I’m a grown man running against a six-year-old boy,” he told an audience of about 2,600 reporters and other politicians.
This speech also showed how his campaign has been changing in recent weeks. Biden is more aggressive towards Trump and increasingly claims that Trump is a threat to American democracy.
Current data shows that the November election between them will be extremely close. According to the New York Times and Siena College poll, Biden is closing Trump’s lead, and tens of thousands of voters in key states could decide the winner today.
