Joe Biden brags about getting things done despite his old age in new ad

On Saturday, President Joe Biden released a new campaign ad that joked about him being old, but said it doesn't matter because he "knows how to get things done."

In the ad posted online, the 81-year-old said, "Look I'm not a young guy. That's no secret." He added, "But here's the deal, I understand how to get things done for the American people."

According to recent polls, many Americans are concerned about the president’s age. 8 out of 10 voters in seven crucial swing states believe he is too old to do the job.

A report released by Special Counsel Robert Hur revealed that Biden had trouble remembering when his son Beau died and the prosecutor decided not to move forward in an investigation of the president citing a jury would see him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

"Today, we have the strongest economy in the world," Biden added in the advertisement. "I passed the law that lowers the price of prescription drugs and caps insulin at $35 a month for seniors."

According to CBS, the ad is part of a $30 million spend in key battleground states including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, and will run on local cable and broadcast television.

In Thursday's State of the Union address, Biden made a similar claim about the economy. "I've been delivering real results in fiscally responsible ways," he said, before claiming that the federal deficit has been cut by $1 trillion.

On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its February report, which showed the unemployment rate rose from 3.7 to 3.9 percent despite 275,000 jobs being added to the economy.

Director of economic research at the Burning Glass Institute Guy Berger noted "We're seeing the job market is getting cooler." He added, "It’s still not a bad one, but it’s looking more like what we saw in the mid-2010s — which was not a terrible job market but still a worse one than what we saw later that decade or what we had in the post-pandemic period.”

Chief economist at Moody's Analytics, Mark Zandi said the economy "feels fragile." He pointed to cuts among temporary jobs which are often a signal that full-time positions are in the distance.

During his speech on Thursday, the president announced that he wanted to make corporations "finally pay their fair share," along with proposing a 25 percent on billionaires.
