Joe Biden, 81, and Nancy Pelosi, 83, trolled as they hold hands before gingerly boarding Marine One
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Joe Biden's age is once again become the target of social media jests, this time alongside former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The two were photographed clasping hands as they boarded Marine One.
Earlier, Biden faced online criticism after a White House Secret Service report revealed that his dog, Commander, had attacked Secret Service staff members at least 24 times, leading to comparisons of Biden to a "terrible owner."
This isn't the first instance of Biden's age being questioned regarding his ability to lead the country. The New York Times recently scrutinized his advancing age and mental acuity.
In response, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized The New York Times for reporting on the President's age.

The New York Post reports that a recent viral video showing President Biden and Speaker Pelosi walking slowly across the tarmac at San Francisco's airport while holding hands is drawing criticism because it's seen as proof of Biden's incapacity to govern the country.
As reported by the New York Times, Biden, 81, met Pelosi, 83, upon his arrival at San Francisco airport as part of a three-day fundraising trip through California.
The viral footage shows Biden and Pelosi greeting each other and Mayor London Breed before slowly heading to board Marine One.
They clasped each other's hands tightly, with Biden letting Pelosi ascend the stairs of Marine One first.
The New York Post further reported that Biden took Marine One to San Francisco’s Marina Green, while Pelosi co-hosted at least one fundraising event for the president in the city later that evening.
Colin Rugg shared the video on X, commenting, "Your country (America) is being ran by the elderly who would be in nursing homes if it wasn’t for their decades of reign. It wasn’t supposed to be this way."
