Overview

• President Biden is adopting a more casual approach in public appearances, including more informal remarks, unannounced stops at diners, and appearances in social media posts and on podcasts.
• Biden's new approach is aimed at addressing voters' concerns about his age as he seeks re-election in 2024.
• First Lady Jill Biden has defended her husband's age, calling it an 'asset' and highlighting his wisdom and experience.
• Despite attempts to address concerns about his age with humor, polls suggest that a significant percentage of voters view Biden as too old to be effective for another term.
• Biden's team is looking to his past as a politician whose 'Uncle Joe' appeal made him an unlikely sitcom cameo player and the subject of a swaggering Onion alter ego.
