In the elections scheduled for November 2024 in the United States, there will be an elderly and mentally “unfit” candidate. But he's not Joe Biden. The President of the United States joked about Donald Trump and his age during a dinner party held last night at the Gridiron Club in Washington. Biden, who recently passed his routine examination, will turn 82 on November 20. However, Trump will blow out 78 candles in June.

“One of the candidates is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other guy is me,” Biden said while speaking at the annual gala for the US media and political elite. It is an event that former Republican President Trump also attended in 2018.

The demographic issue is set to play a role in an election campaign that will come alive in the coming weeks, with the possibility of a rematch between the last two presidents after their 2020 duel.

It is clear that the international framework also places foreign policy at the heart of the table. In his remarks, Biden warned that “we live in an unprecedented time for democracy” where “democracy and freedom are truly under attack.” He then cited Russian President Vladimir Putin's “March on Europe,” noting that Trump encouraged Putin to “do whatever the hell he wants.”
