In a recent MSNBC interview, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed concerns about President Biden's age, characterizing it as a "relative" matter. She defended the president's fitness for office, emphasizing his extensive experience and knowledge. Pelosi even went so far as to call Biden a "kid" in comparison to herself and other prominent figures she'd encountered.

Pelosi highlighted Biden's leadership and the value of his experience, drawing a comparison to the age of his political rivals. She argued that age is not a defining factor in leadership capability.

The former Speaker shared anecdotes of meetings with centenarian Norman Lear and renowned architect Frank Gehry, both of whom continue to be actively engaged in their respective fields despite their advanced age. Pelosi used these examples to illustrate her point about the relativity of age.

Pelosi's comments echo President Biden's own assertions from a May interview where he touted his age as an asset, citing his deep knowledge and experience. She dismissed criticisms of Biden's age as mere "excuses" and urged focus on the issues facing the nation.

Despite Pelosi's defense, concerns about Biden's age persist among some Democrats, voters, and even within the president's advisory circle. Reports suggest some advisors have privately acknowledged the challenges posed by the president's age, particularly regarding his energy levels and schedule constraints. In April, Biden himself acknowledged these concerns when pressed by reporters, stating that his age doesn't "register" with him.
