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.”

Ignore all actors as communist agitators. Hollywood was one of the first centers of influence taken over by the Marxist and they are a lost cause. The hell with all of them.

What’s his point?
A Dementia Denier?
lol
it is NOT about how OLD he is, it is about Pedo Joe’s dementia!
Sounds like “Everything is Rosie” with the Dickster. Playing with your marbles is so “old school”, Dick.
His age doesn’t matter. The problem is he DOESN’T have all his marbles.
biden is a demented, incompetent, mean, vengeful angry man who hates this country and is selling it out to muzzies, gays, self-mutilators, Jew-haters and marxists.
His age is not the issue.
tell you what dick, if you still support joe, you better go back and count those marbles again.
He ignores the fact that not everyone ages the same. Just because he is older than Biden and still sharp mentally means nothing.
Van Dyke by supporting Biden clearly shows that he does not have all his marbles.
I don't believe one word of that.
As much as I appreciate Van Dyke’s talent, if he actually did have all of his marbles, he’d be running away from ol’ Joe just like everyone else is this weekend.
So by Dick’s reasoning, everyone who is 98 is fit to be President because everyone is like him.
Maybe he doesn’t have all his marbles after all?
“Oh, Rob!”
It is strange to think of someone who is still living life being old enough to be Biden’s father.
I don’t either.
We should respect our elders and agree with Dick Van Dyke. I say keep Joe!

Excuses to elect a man that utters gibberish, can’t count, is corrupt to the core, doesn’t know the Position he’s campaigning for, and has dirty Foreign Cash sent to his grandkids, where Hunter and James are executors.
Leave him on the Ticket! He’s a great man! I’m believing all his Stories of his Granddad enjoying gay guys groping each other in public on Sunday afternoon in 1950.
No one better than the Bidens!
Oh boy, the Hellyweirdos are coming out of their cockroach holes. Death by 1000 cuts! 😂 Btw, did you all see Elton John quickly shaking FJB’s hand and quickly exit the stage? That optic was so incredibly awkward. They’re all beginning to treat cadaver Joe like a piranha.
