Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasnāt joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Bidenās age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnellās second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his āfriendā sounded like āhis old selfā and that such episodes are a āpart of his recoveryā from a fall and a concussion this year.
Wait. Trump, three years younger than Biden, is attacking Biden on his age?
Trump also thinks heās 215 pounds.
Iām 6ā2 230 lbs and I look WAY slimmer than Trump. He is lying about all of it.
My guess is if you took away the lift shoes and actually measured the guy heād be a bit shy of 6 foot and well over 300
He was already attacking Biden on his age during the election. At the age Trump now is.
