President Biden on Wednesday defended his decision to run for a second term despite his advanced age, saying polls that show voter skepticism and underwater approval ratings also show general satisfaction with his agenda.
Mr. Biden, who at 80 is the oldest sitting president, said he feels good about his chances, particularly in a rematch against former President Donald Trump, whom he called a “danger to our democracy.”“I can’t even say the number, it doesn’t register with me,” Mr. Biden said, adding voters are “gonna see a race and they’re gonna judge whether I have it or don’t have it.”
“We have economic growth moving,” Mr. Biden said. “Things are moving and the reason I’m running again is there is a job to finish.” The president said a Democratic alternative might be able to beat Mr. Trump, if the former president does win the GOP nomination again. But Mr. Biden said he wants to press on, citing his experience and momentum from a first term.
