Speaking on the future of the filibuster at the first press conference of his presidency, President Joe Biden, 78, said he came to the Senate “120 years ago.”
“With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United State’s Senate 120 years ago.”
Biden became a Senator when he was 29 and served for 36 years.

“I took it as a joke.”
I didn’t. No one at the conference seemed to.
It was a lame joke. And if it’s a gaffe, nobody in that room full of brown-nosers wants to be the one to laugh.

No kidding
Look it up and in pics I have seen she is one step away from SlowJoes lap

For Senators the minimum age is 30. Joe is only claiming to be 150 years old. Teddy Kennedy, born in 1932, was elected to the Senate in 1962 (to the seat formerly held by his brother...they had to get a seat-warmer for 2 years until he was eligible).
You’re right. I misread it.
