First lady Jill Biden was pressed on concerns over President Biden's age and health on Thursday during an interview, and said his age was an "asset," because he's "lived history."

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski asked the first lady about her husband's age and health with "everything on the line."

"This is a massive amount of physical and emotional stress. It would be on any person. Your husband is 81. At the end of a second term, he’d be 86. As his life partner of 46 years, is there a part of you that is worried about his age and health? Can he do it?" Brzezinski asked.

Biden responded, "He can do it."

"I see Joe every day. I see him out, you know, traveling around this country. I see his vigor. I see his energy. I see his passion every single day," she added.

Brzezinski also asked the first lady what she would say to people who don't want to vote for President Biden because he's "too old."

"His age is an asset," she said as Brzezinski chuckled and added, "He's wise."

"He’s wise. He has wisdom. He has experience. He knows every leader on the world stage. He’s lived history. He knows history. He’s thoughtful in his decisions. He is the right man, the right person for the job at this moment in history," Biden said.
