Stephen Colbert jokes Biden’s primary vote score is similar to his age: ‘Very close to 100’

The Late Show host then rolled a clip of Mr Biden’s victory speech, showing his gratitude to the people of South Carolina, who he said “brung me to the dance”.

AnAP-NORC poll from August said that 51 per cent of US adults thought Mr Trump was too old. However, Mr Biden ranked higher, with 77 per cent of adults also saying the same thing about the current president.
