President Joe Biden on Sept. 4 touted his accomplishments in an address to union workers in Philadelphia to mark Labor Day and pushed back against critics who say he’s too old to seek a second term.

“Someone said, ‘You know, that Biden is getting old, man.’ I tell you what. The only thing that comes with age is a little bit of wisdom. I’ve been doing this longer than anybody, and guess what? I’m going to continue to do it with your help,” President Biden said to begin his remarks.
