MADISON, Wisconsin — President Joe Biden on Friday defended himself against mounting criticism over his age and mental acuity in a campaign appearance in Wisconsin, defiantly saying he won’t step down as the Democratic nominee and asking Americans to hold up his age against his legislative accomplishments and agenda.
Biden asked supporters if he was “too old” to relieve student debt, appoint the first Black woman to the Supreme Court and sign climate laws. He also challenged the questions around whether he can continue to do so in a second term, when he would be 82 years old on Inauguration Day.
“What do you think? You think I’m too old to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land? You think I’m too old to ban assault weapons again? To protect social security and Medicare?” Biden said to a raucous crowd. “You think I’m too old to beat Donald Trump? I can hardly wait.”

Prior to last week’s debate, Biden deflected questions about his age with humor. And while he continued to do so on Friday — Biden twice said he looked 40 years old — he tackled the issue head-on and compared it with his record in a much more forceful way.
Biden appeared energetic and focused during the 17-minute public speech with teleprompters at a middle school in the battleground state. He appeared before about 1,000 people at the rally and an overflow room, according to the campaign. But later Friday, he is expected to go through another, perhaps more difficult test: an unscripted interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News.

Quotes:
Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, describes what happened after a teacher called her brother “Mr. Buh-buh-buh Biden” as he recited an assignment in class.
Their mother, she says, marched Biden back to school and confronted his teacher head-on: “‘Sister, did you make fun of my son? … if you ever, ever, ever do that again, I’m going to come back and I’m going to knock your bonnet right off your head. Do we understand each other?’”
Good for you Dementia Joe! I knew your arrogance would keep you in the race!
Don’t let anyone talk you out of running, I can’t wait for everyone to blame you for the loss that is coming, it is going to be SWEET.
It looks like the potted plant survived one more day.
One day at a time, one day a time....
“hundreds of various types of weapons, including automatic guns, semi-automatic weapons, grenades, and also explosives, get smuggled into the country daily, from various countries, mostly from Eastern Europe, due to high demand by many gangs and criminal networks in Sweden.”

Tammy was defiant.
Tammy Baldwin, locked in her own re-election race, won’t appear with Joe Biden in Madison
Next time he falls nothing will stop his descent.
Hang in there, Joe!
Joe’s firm resolve warms my heart.
“And you’ll have those drop off boxes, you know, to stuff them. I used to be the best ballot stuffer there every was.”
fwiw Harris started her second day slightly favored over him.
He has taken a sliver of money to make it closer.
She is 9/2
Brain Dead is 5/1
President Trump is still $1.80 to win $1.00.
Totally fake story. Like it is even conceivable that a school teacher in the 1940s would make fun of a stuttering student.
We need an “Operation Chaos” to keep Biden in the race. Miss you Rush, now more than ever!
Let’s Go Brandon!!
JOE! You go girl!
Poor Biden is in such bad shape he is looking for sympathy from the voting demographic consisting of stutterers. Next we will get nose pickers, finger nail biters, hairy legs, etc.
One thing is certain, Joey has the pedo demographic sewed up!!
A Democrat friend stopped by today. He lives out of state, haven’t seen him in person in probably a year. He wanted to talk politics, so we did. Very frustrating, as he’s completely brainwashed by the anti-Trump media, and had every talking point at his fingertips. However, he did confirm what I thought: he really doesn’t see any infirmity in Biden, and if there is, he doesn’t care. He wants to see Biden stay in because he thinks it will advantage Trump if Biden drops out.
This is in line with what I think is happening. The Democrat elites (politicians, donors, media) have decided to replace Biden. The Democrat voters want Biden to keep running.
Yes, most stories about Biden’s life are fake. But if it is true it means his mother was also an arrogant bully.
