After President Joe Biden’s recent State of the Union address, NTD spoke with David Carlucci, a former New York State senator and Democratic strategist.
Carlucci noted that President Biden’s joke about his age during the speech effectively addressed concerns about his mental fitness as he seeks another term in the White House.
In his speech, President Biden joked about his age, saying, “I may be getting old, but I’ve seen the future, and it’s us.” According to Carlucci, this lighthearted moment helped to dispel some of the worries that voters may have had about Biden’s ability to serve effectively as president.

Carlucci explained that humor can be a powerful tool in politics, especially when used to address sensitive topics like age and mental fitness. By making light of his age, President Biden was able to connect with voters and show that he was aware of the concerns surrounding his health and cognitive abilities.
Carlucci believes that President Biden’s State of the Union address was well-received and that his performance helped to strengthen his position as the Democratic frontrunner for the 2024 election.
He praised Biden’s focus on unity and bipartisanship, noting that these themes resonate with a wide range of voters across the political spectrum.
As the 2024 election approaches, Carlucci emphasized the importance of candidates being able to connect with voters on a personal level. He believes that President Biden’s ability to use humor and empathy in his speeches will continue to be a key asset as he seeks to secure another term in office.
