President Joe Biden reflected on his age at a Hanukkah menorah lighting ceremony at the White House on Wednesday.
Biden recalled speaking to some younger people on his staff before the event about his many trips to Israel.
“All of a sudden, I realize, ‘God you’re getting old, Biden,” he said, recalling that he had known every Israeli prime minister “well” since Golda Meir.
Biden celebrated his 79th birthday on Saturday, as the oldest person to occupy the White House.
Biden was introduced at the event by Vice President Kamala Harris, who spoke of Biden in glowing terms.
