Joe Biden is going to turn 80 years old, right after the midterms. The White House is reportedly not very excited about making much of a fuss on Joe’s special day.

Why would that be? Is it because they don’t want to remind people of Joe’s advanced age now that so many Americans are concerned about his mental capacity?

Report: White House Wants Low-Key 80th Birthday for Biden

The White House is hoping to downplay President Joe Biden’s entrance into the octogenarian club next month as questions continue to swirl about his fitness to lead the nation.

Biden will turn 80 on Nov. 20, soon after the midterm elections, and will make history as the first serving commander in chief to reach that milestone, Politico reported Tuesday.

“Like President Biden has said, anyone with questions about his age should just watch him: He has delivered record job creation, made NATO the strongest it has ever been, and amassed the most significant legislative record since LBJ in less than half of one term,” Andrew Bates, White House spokesman told Politico. “I don’t have a comment about whether Politico is invited to his birthday.”
