US President Joe Biden, who announced his re-election bid last month, said that his old age has brought him wisdom.
“I have acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom and know more than the vast majority of people,” the 80-year-old president said during an interview with MSNBC. This was his first interview with the media since he launched his election campaign last week.
Biden, who will turn 86 by the end of his second term, added, “I’m more experienced than anybody that’s ever run for the office. And I think I’ve proven myself to be honorable as well as also effective.”
