Dick Van Dyke weighed in on whom he’ll be supporting in the upcoming election on a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.
“I’m going to support [Joe] Biden,” the 98-year-old actor, who publicly supported Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid four years ago, told THR‘s Scott Feinberg about the November election.
When asked if he felt if it was fair to criticize President Biden for his age, Van Dyke made it clear he wasn’t so concerned about that. “I’ve got all my marbles, and I’m old enough to be his father,” the iconic actor said. “I’m actually old enough in years to be his father. So I’m not worried about it.”
Van Dyke did, however, express some concern about Biden’s performance in the upcoming presidential debate, noting that he feels the president has “difficulty debating.”
The Mary Poppins star also looked back on meeting both former President Donald Trump and Biden for the first time. “I met him at a party out here in Malibu, before he was in politics,” Van Dyke said about Trump.
“He was in a Hawaiian shirt, open, big belly, all nice and tan. Couple of gold chains hanging around his neck, and a blonde on his arm. I’ll be charitable and say she was 20,” he continued. “And he looked down on me like, ‘Who are you?'”
Van Dyke had more firm words for the former president, adding he’s “never seen him laugh.” When asked what the actor thought that said about a person, Van Dyke replied: “Well, he is disturbed.”
“I met Joe Biden,” Van Dyke said of his introduction to the president. “And I said, ‘I used to be as tall as you are.’ He said, ‘I used to have hair like you.’ I liked him right away.”

I really believe Elton John is a secret Trump supporter but he can’t ever let that be known because his core fanbase is deeply Leftist.
Check this out - Jill’s ex-husband speaks out....man who KNOWS both Joe and Jill...revealing...no love lost there and doesn’t hesitate to call Joe a liar!!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly.
Thomas Sowell has all his mental faculties. I’d take him over FJB and DVD in a heartbeat.
Just for your edification. They are treating Biden like a pariah- a despised person or a social outcast; not a piranha - a flesh eating fish. Sorry to be the vocabulary Nazi.
Only the good die young.
I like a lot of his early works.
Take your pick, Dick.
“I know I’m not a young man, I don’t walk as easy or speak as smoothly or debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong and I know how to do this job.”

...if you don't have one....
...ummm
(messed that up)
...never mind.
“The Mary Poppins star”
LOL...yes, that describes this 98 year old airhead.
Dick Van Dyke’s comments indicate he has either lost it himself or is a partisan liar. Even in their fifties some people have dementia or other incapacity. Pretending Biden’s chronological age is the reason he is unfit for office is dishonest spin. It is Biden’s manifest decline; inability to focus, recall, or process information; inability to speak coherently; inability to work more than a few hours per day; tendency to wander off; physical infirmity; etc. If DVD can’t see this, God help him.
I’ve never seen a picture of Trump in an open Hawaiian shirt with gold chains or anything similar! Van Dyke is trying to paint a picture of a stereotype. I wonder if it even happened.
I was kind of fooled by DVD.
I assume most in Hollyweird lean to the left. And the best you can hope for is a libertarian..
I thinks it’s when I’m he slobbering over obama that he started to turn me off.?
Dicks just another group think adherent.
Oh well.

That about a man who only ditches a tie on the golf course.

Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, I suffer from dyslexia and usually get my wording and sentences all confused but I try. But you knew what I meant, which is awesome!👏🏻
Worth repeating.
