PHOENIX — B-24?
A bingo caller shouted “Union jobs” and “Taking on Big Pharma” for seniors to fill with crayons cards that also included “Dr. Jill Biden” before the first lady herself showed up to address a crowd of roughly 250 Saturday afternoon — trying to ease concerns as her husband, 81, faces increasing public scrutiny regarding his mental acuity.
Mere hours after the first lady’s event, President Biden undercut her message with his third viral moment in a week, appearing to freeze up at a celebrity-led Los Angeles fundraiser before former President Barack Obama led him off the stage.
“This nana is proud to stand here with all of you to get to work to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Jill said in front of a “Seniors for Biden-Harris” sign.
On the issues, Biden focused on Social Security and Medicare in her brief address.
“Donald Trump supported ending Medicare as we know it,” she claimed.
“He wants to cut Social Security to give more tax breaks to his billionaire friends,” she continued. “Make no mistake: Donald Trump is dangerous.”
The 73-year-old first lady attempted to put a positive spin on her husband’s age while taking a dig at his Republican opponent, who is 78.
“Joe and the other guy are essentially the same age so let’s not be fooled,” she said.
“Biden is a healthy, wise, 81-year-old ready to work every day to make our future better,” she continued, echoing a line she used with Nevada voters the day before after the president made headlines for awkward behavior at the G7 summit and freezing at a Juneteenth celebration, as The Post reported.

“Joe and the other guy are essentially the same age so let’s not be fooled,” she said.
No. Gavin Newsom is 56 years old.
So am I but I can find the door...
Age is not the issue. It should be stressed that cognitive ability is the issue. Too bad even many of The Stupid Party can’t separate the two concepts.
True. Gavin is studying Moronics 101 at Biden university.
Jill is a piece of work.....nohumanity.Imagine just how badly inhumane these fascists can get when the spouse pf the president would prop him up and massage a smile to his frozen face even if it was a corpse’s.
This is King Lear level stuff with a little MacBeth thrown in.
at extreme ages, a few years can be the difference between being ok, and being bedridden or dead.
She talks age not mental acuity.
Conflating age with mental state is their only response.
My mother is 90 and has more on the ball than Biden.
If that is her grasp of mathematics, I sure as shit don’t want her in the fire direction center working a “danger close” mission!
Age isn’t the issue. Dimentia is the issue. Not every old person has dimentia.
The Worst Lady, Jill, is abusing her dementia-ridden husband. Shouldn’t she be arrested for elderly abuse? I guess Joe’s elderly, former babysitter has no soul.
Remember the fit the democrats threw when a 69 year old Ronald Reagan was elected? They said he was TOO OLD and would never live through his first term.
Now they say an 81 year old doddering codger is “the best man for the job!” as they said last election.
We knew he was “loosing it” as VP to Obama.
The other one didn’t crap his pants at D-Day.
Aging concerns?
That is misdirection. Aging and dementia are two different concepts.
Jill has Edith Wilson act down pat.
More 1980s furniture upholstery. And what is up with that belt??
