Another reporter asked Jean-Pierre what the White House's strategy is to change the perception of a majority of voters who believe Biden is too old to serve as president for another term.

Recent polling has found that Biden's age is a major issue for a majority of not only Americans in general, but also Democrats. A Sunday poll from ABC/Ipsos found that 86% of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve another term, including 73% of Democrats.

Jean-Pierre then quoted the words of First Lady Jill Biden when she said Biden "does more in one hour than most
