Biden appeared almost 10 years to the day after he was a guest on the first “Late Night” show with Meyers when he was vice president in 2014.

President Joe Biden made an appearance Monday on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” where he answered questions about topics ranging from his age and the Israel-Hamas war to the conservative conspiracy about Taylor Swift.

The interview comes almost 10 years to the day after Biden was a guest on the first “Late Night” show with Meyers, which aired on Feb. 24, 2014, when Biden was vice president. It also follows a decision this month to skip a Super Bowl interview that had a much larger audience.

During Monday’s Q&A, Biden was asked early on how he addresses voter concern over his age.

“Take a look at the other guy, he’s about as old as I am," said Biden, who at 81 is four years older than former President Donald Trump.

“It’s about how old your ideas are. Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take us back,” Biden added, pointing to Trump’s positions on abortion rights, which he suggested were outdated.

    Ok, what’s your solution then? Because 1 of 2 people are going to be president in February of 2025 and one of them actually appointed the judges responsible for the decision while the other one didn’t do enough to stop it (in your opinion) while he was VP.

    Surely the leopard won’t eat my face!

    Not sure you understand that expression if you think it applies here. I certainly didn’t vote for anyone who was in favor of overturning Roe.

      That’s the problem with you people, you are convinced that electoral politics is the only way to affect change, when it really is one of the least effective ways.

        Oh fuck off, nobody believes you’re about to overthrow the government.

        One of the least effective ways, second only to crying about it on the Internet I suppose.

            I just don’t think you’re about to overthrow the government from your mom’s basement. But go ahead and prove me wrong, I suppose.
