President Joe Biden spoke with Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes over the weekend —and the CBS host couldn’t help but comment on Biden’s energy level, noticing that Joe “seemed tired.”
“As we spoke to the president, his Secretary of State was in Israel; his Defense Secretary was at a NATO meeting on Ukraine,” Pelley said. “America’s oldest president seemed tired from directing all of this.”
“It had been a rough week and we could see it on him,” Pelley added.

From Fox News:
The president’s advanced age is causing concern among Democratic strategists and media figures, with a recent Politico column warning that Democrats are having a hard time getting voters to see past their concerns on that front as he runs for re-election.
Politico senior columnist Jonathan Martin published a piece detailing how Democratic leaders are seeing that their voters are apprehensive about Biden’s age and have trouble recalling his accomplishments.
“Every Democratic consultant I’ve talked to in recent weeks said that’s the only refrain they pick up on Biden,” Martin wrote, citing the president’s age.
At 80 years old, Joe Biden is America’s oldest President.
