Popular podcast host and UFC reporter Joe Rogan was not exactly thrilled about a headline that the New York Times used for a story about Joe Biden.
Back in March, the New York Times published a story with the headline “For Joe Biden, What Seems Like Age Might Instead Be Style” that argued Biden’s age was not a concern in the upcoming election.
“Joe Biden, you might have heard, is old. I’m sure you have thoughts about that: about his mental agility and physical stamina, about his chances for surviving a second term that is scheduled to end two months after his 86th birthday. But presidential age isn’t only a medical or actuarial matter. It has a symbolic weight, a range of cultural meanings that have so far been overlooked,” the article said.
“Biden is 81. Donald Trump is 77. Biden’s age has become an issue in a way that Trump’s has not, because we are being asked, as citizen-critics, to judge the president’s late style. This is what we saw at the State of the Union on Thursday night.”
On Thursday, Rogan re-shared the headline and took the opportunity to criticize it.

“Oh, OK. I feel better now,” Rogan said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Clearly, Rogan does not have a lot of confidence in Biden.
