DNC Chair Gives Master Class On Responding To Concerns Over Biden's Age

Some of DNC Chair Jaime Harrison's Democratic colleagues in Congress could take a few pointers from him on how to respond to the constant concern trolling over Biden's age from the press. Following Biden's press conference at the end of the NATO summit, in which Biden did well overall but still made a few gaffes, Harrison was asked to respond to how he thought it went.

HARRISON: Listen, I think he was clear, I think he was strong, and really Chris, he put on a master class in terms of complex international foreign policy tonight. The contrast is so clear. You could give Donald Trump a blank map and say fill it in and he would fail, horribly. He wouldn't have any clue where any of the countries were. And Joe Biden demonstrated the intricate knowledge on every single one of these countries, and the histories, and the relationships, and this is what I have been talking about all day for the past few weeks.

This guy has been the most transformational, most consequential president that we've seen, that I've seen in my lifetime. when you think about what he has been able to do, what he has been able to accomplish, there really is no comparison. And he sort of hinted at it, maybe, maybe, LBJ and FDR, and he has brought us back to, on the world stage, where the world leaders look to him for his guidance and leadership and wisdom and his knowledge.
